The October 7 War Book
Saturday morning, October 7, 2023. The State of Israel is engulfed in chaos, caught between uncertainty and helplessness. On this morning, later titled as 'The Black Sabbath' Ziv Koren knew he had just one mission: to be on the ground, right in the heart of the action.
He grabbed his camera, jumped on his motorcycle, and raced southward. Within less than an hour, he would be one of the first photographers to witness the horrors unfolding in Israel’s southern settlements, capturing gunfights against Hamas terrorists and documenting scenes that would forever be imprinted on the national memory.
More than 430 selected photographs from this period are now compiled in a large coffee table format (32x24 cm) with premium specifications. Some of the photographs were published in the Israeli and international press, and others are shown here for the first time.
The book is available in English (296 pages) and Hebrew (304 pages) and includes texts written by Koren and other authors.
Breath is a unique book presenting an historic era in our lives through 450 pictures taken over two years in Israel of hospitals, lockdowns, holidays, funerals, birth, protests, vaccination and more.
This photo book honors the living and the dead and the health care and life support staff who worked days and night to save lives.
More than 430 selected photographs from this morning and the following year are now compiled in a new, 288 pages book in large coffee table format (32x24 cm) with premium specifications. Some of the photographs were published in the Israeli and international press, and others are shown here for the first time. Alongside the photographs, the book includes texts written by Koren and other authors.
The book is available for sale in English and Hebrew

SNAPSHOT - THE IDF AS NEVER SEEN BEFORE
Snapshot is a unique project that offers us a rare glimpse
into the inner workings of the IDF and the other security
forces as they have never been viewed before.
Commentator Yoav Limor and photographer Ziv Koren were given exclusive access, allowing them to bring us an unfiltered view of Israel’s real war over our homeland – from covert attacks in Syria and the battle against terror to defending the borders. Their work also reveals the real
war of daily struggles – for the advancement of women in the military, to integrate the ultra-Orthodox, to absorb immigrants and disadvantaged youth. It documents the IDF’s humanitarian aid missions to disaster sites around the world and the technological breakthroughs that have transformed Israel into the start-up nation.
Snapshot presents an unprecedented, insider’s view of
some of the most exclusive and secretive IDF units: Sayeret Matkal and Shaldag (General Staff and air force commando units), technology units of the intelligence division, and the Shabak (Israel Security Agency). The book also offers previously unpublished stories and photos from the war
on terror, and border operations against Hezbollah, Hamas, and ISIS.
