Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

The IDF General Staff held a memorial ceremony and observed a moment of silence at the Zikim base on Friday at 6:29 AM, marking the National Remembrance Day for the October 7 massacre. The ceremony commemorated the events of October 7th.

The timing of the silence, 6:29 AM, corresponds to the time the first Hamas rockets were fired on October 7th, initiating the unprecedented attack on Israel. The Zikim base, located near the Gaza border, was one of the first locations to experience the assault.
