There’s no doubt in my mind that photography plays a vital role in documenting history—perhaps even more so than video. While browsing Flickr for street photography, I came across an album created by Eran Horn, an amateur photographer from Israel.
Through his lens, he has captured the unfolding events surrounding the potential liberation of prisoners held by Hamas.
His black-and-white photographs are truly remarkable, conveying the deep sadness and dramatic intensity of the moment with profound impact.

While legal, street photography can still raise ethical concerns. It's important to approach subjects respectfully, especially in sensitive contexts or when photographing children or vulnerable individuals.
