World Marks Three Years Since Oct. 7 Hamas Attack
Israelis and Jewish communities worldwide are marking three years since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack. It was the deadliest day in Israel’s history.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid a wreath at Mount Herzl Cemetery in Jerusalem on Monday. Official state memorials were held across the country.
On Wednesday evening, a national memorial ceremony will be held in Tel Aviv, organised by the Kumu movement of survivors and victims’ families. Tens of thousands are expected. Former hostage Eli Sharabi will host.
A vigil is planned at the site of the Nova music festival near the Gaza border, where 348 young people were killed. Events are also planned at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv.
This is the first anniversary with no hostages held in Gaza. The remains of the last Israeli hostage were recovered in January after swaps with Hamas. The anniversary comes 20 days before Israel’s election, the first since the attack.
