On October 7, a tragic event unfolded when Hamas militants launched a series of attacks in Israel, resulting in numerous casualties and abductions. For Marina Degtiar, this incident evoked painful memories of July 18, 1994, when a devastating bombing targeted the Argentine-Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) in Buenos Aires. The attack claimed the life of her brother Cristian, along with 84 others, and left 300 injured.
The AMIA bombing occurred two years after a similar attack on the Israeli embassy in Argentina, which killed 29 individuals. Despite Argentine prosecutors attributing the AMIA attack to Iranian officials and Hezbollah operatives, no convictions have been made, and Iran denies any involvement.
