The Herzliya municipality announced that the new cluster of gardens in the city will bear the name of the envelope community, which was damaged on October 7. Mayor Moshe Fadlon noted that the new kindergartens that will open next school year in Herzliya will be called "Nirim," "Sufa," "Zikim," "Alumim," "Gevim," "Eshkol" and "Negev."

The terrible attack on the southern settlements, the massacre, the destruction and the many murdered brought quite a few gestures – which often signal the fact that there is an intention to rehabilitate the communities. After the disaster in the hospitals, quite a few children were called by names such as "Bari", "Nir", "Oz" and the like. Now the first swallow of commemoration in local authorities as well.
Herzliya now serves as an alternative home for thousands of evacuees from the Gaza Strip, who were the first line to the horrors of that bloody Shabbat. "I met many children and their parents from the Gaza envelope, heard their stories of heroism and they all entered deep into my heart. Words and names have the power of consolation and resurrection." Herzliya Mayor Moshe Fadlon said, adding: "Instead of the names of the communities being associated only with bereavement and mourning, the names of the kindergartens will be linked to sounds of hope, laughter and children's joy. These will be the votes of victory for the State of Israel."

When the battles end, commemoration activities will also begin in various bodies and cities, however, it should be noted that many local authorities refrain from naming streets and buildings after fallen soldiers, so as not to create discrimination between the fallen. However, over the years, quite a few educational institutions have been named after fallen IDF soldiers, streets have also been named after various events and localities.
