Israel Marks October 7th Anniversary with Nationwide Ceremonies

Israel is holding nationwide ceremonies to commemorate those killed in the Hamas terror attacks. The official national memorial day is determined by the Hebrew calendar, so this year it is marked on October 5. Flags were lowered to half-mast on public buildings at 6:29 am, the exact time the attack began three years ago. Hamas militants killed around 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages during the assault. In response, Israel launched a war on Gaza, which has resulted in tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths and displaced much of the territory's population. The ceremonies include memorial services, moments of silence, and tributes to the victims. The anniversary comes amid ongoing conflict and heightened tensions in the region. #dwcurrentaffairs 00:00 Israel ma
