Israel holds memorial events for October 7 attack anniversary
Israel marked the third anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack with memorial events across the country on Wednesday.
Silent tributes at attack sites
Family members bowed their heads in silence at the Nova music festival site and Kibbutz Kfar Aza. These locations were targeted by militants who breached the border on October 7, 2023. One attendee played techno music instead of remaining silent during the ceremony.
Strikes continue despite ceasefire
Loud explosions from Israeli strikes were heard across the border in Gaza during the commemorations. Officials in Gaza stated that at least two people died in these overnight attacks. The strikes occurred even though a ceasefire has been officially in place for over a year.
