  • Singer Yuval Raphael performed at a state memorial ceremony for October 7th.
  • The ceremony took place at the Zikim base at 6:29 AM.
  • IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir attended the event.
  • Raphael will perform at additional memorial events nationwide.
  • She is scheduled to appear at the Re'im memorial site on October 7th.

The state memorial day for the October 7th events began precisely at 6:29 AM with a special ceremony at the Zikim base, attended by the General Staff Forum. The pivotal moment of remembrance featured singer Yuval Raphael performing the song "Pri Ganach" before the IDF's top brass, including Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. Raphael's emotional rendition resonated deeply with attendees, echoing across the southern base at the exact time the war commenced two years prior. Following the Zikim ceremony, Raphael proceeded to the state memorial event at Mount Herzl. In the coming days, she is scheduled to participate in numerous other memorial events nationwide, including ceremonies organized by municipalities and local authorities. Her next major appearance will be on October 7th at the memorial site in Re'im, where she will perform at the annual remembrance ceremony for the victims of the Nova music festival and the October 7th attacks.
