FOX Nation will debut a two-part docuseries hosted by FOX News
correspondent Benjamin Hall on April 9, announced Lauren Petterson,
president of the platform. Entitled Surviving Hamas: A Benjamin
Hall Special, the two hour-long episodes will explore the
devastating firsthand experiences of individuals in the Israeli
community following the October 7, 2023 attack.
In commenting on the announcement, Petterson said, “As we
approach the sixth month anniversary of the October 7th attack on
Israel, Ben’s unique perspective provides a powerful series that
explores grief, resilience and survival through the lens of those
most closely impacted.”
Surviving Hamas: A Benjamin Hall Special drills down on the
events that unfolded that day and the impact it had on survivors.
Throughout the series, Hall visits some of the hardest hit
communities providing an update for viewers as the 200-day
milestone nears. Full episodic details are as follows:
EPISODE 1: MAYA'S STORY On October 6,
2023, over 3000 people danced the night away at the Supernova Music
Festival near the Gaza border in Israel. At 6:29 am on October 7,
the festival abruptly descended into mayhem. In the chaotic
aftermath, more than 400 individuals tragically lost their lives,
and over 40 were abducted by Hamas terrorists. Among them was Maya
Regev, a 21-year-old partygoer who was captured and endured a
gunshot wound to her leg. Despite her desperate pleas and
excruciating pain, she remained composed throughout her ordeal
until eventually being released. Maya opens up to Hall about the
horrors she faced.
EPISODE 2: NIR OZ On October 7, 2023,
as part of the surprise attack on Israel, Palestinian militants
from the Gaza Strip, led by Hamas, invaded the Nir Oz kibbutz in
southern Israel. They tragically took the lives of numerous kibbutz
residents, set homes ablaze, and abducted civilians. Hall
interviews survivors and their families, shedding light on the
devastating massacre that ravaged this tight-knit community.
In March of 2022, Hall was catastrophically injured while
covering the war in Ukraine alongside his two colleagues, FOX News
photojournalist Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist
Oleksandra Kuvshynova who were tragically killed. After an arduous
recovery, Hall returned to work in 2023 and that November, traveled
to Ukraine for the first time since the attack to interview
President Zelenskyy in a wide-ranging interview. During his trip,
he was awarded the Order of Merit, III class by Zelenskyy for his
“outstanding personal contribution to strengthening interstate
cooperation, support for Ukraine’s independence and territorial
integrity.” Additionally, he met with the servicepeople who
assisted in his evacuation from Ukraine in 2022. Hall chronicled
the harrowing journey in his 2023 New York Times bestseller “Saved:
A War Reporter’s Mission to Make it Home'' and the FOX News
documentary, “Sacrifice and Survival: A Story from the Front Line''
which debuted in March 2023. His trip to Israel marked his second
time reporting from a war zone since his return.
