The Israel Sci-Tech Schools family is honoring its students, alumni and personnel lost to the horrific and unprecedented terror attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023 and in the Iron Swords war that followed. Over 106 of these heroes were slaughtered by Hamas in their sleep, while dancing in a music festival, and while biking on a Shabbat morning. These heroes were abducted brutally. These heroes fought to defend the State of Israel and had fallen in combat. With their bodies and souls these heroes saved many Israeli lives. Our hearts are aching and we will remember them and owe them forever.

We are praying for the fast and safe return of all hostages amongst them, Israel Sci-Tech Schools graduates.
