Kan 7.10.360

Kan 7.10.360 is an interactive virtual museum dedicated to the commemoration and illustration of the events of the October 7, 2023 massacres. It was launched in May 2024 by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation in preparation for Israel's Memorial Day.

Background
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Hamas militants and Palestinian Islamic Jihad militants launched a surprise attack on Israel. Under the cover of thousands of rocket launches, approximately 3,000 militant infiltrated dozens of Israeli communities and military installations in and around the Gaza Envelope, engaging in firefights against the few security forces present. The militant carried out massacres and rapes, killing 1,150 people, of whom 779 were civilians, and kidnapped around 253 people, including women, elderly, and infants, to the Gaza Strip. In the initial hours, response units, Israeli police officers, YAMAM fighters, and IDF soldiers fought against them despite being outnumbered. About 1,550 militants were killed on Israeli soil during the battles, while the Israeli side lost 301 soldiers, 55 police officers, and 10 Shin Bet agents.

In response to the massacres, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation initiated the creation of the 7.10.360 Museum to document and commemorate the events of October 7.

Establishment of the Museum and Its Goals
In preparation for Israel's Memorial Day in May 2024, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation launched the 7.10.360 Museum, an interactive virtual museum by "Kan Digital" in collaboration with the tech company AppsFlyer. It is the first of its kind in Israel. The museum allows visitors to virtually tour the Gaza Envelope communities from anywhere in the country and the world. Through an application, visitors can view documentation of the events and aftermath of the October 7, 2023 attack. Visitors can also hear firsthand accounts from residents and security personnel.

The museum utilizes thousands of hours of raw materials collected in the corporation's archives since the outbreak of the war, including reports, films, interviews, and podcasts. Additionally, previously unpublished video clips, security footage, recordings, and correspondences were incorporated, gathered through research conducted by the corporation's team in collaboration with southern communities and settlements. In the months following the museum's launch, additional archival footage and data are expected to be added, providing a foundation for future research and education about the massacre. The technical management of the museum is handled by Diskin Company, which developed the virtual museum of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp.
