Israel is observing a state memorial day to commemorate the victims of the October 7th massacre, three years after the event. The day began at 6:29 AM with the lowering of national flags to half-mast at national institutions, marking the exact time the attack commenced. At 11:00 AM, a state memorial ceremony for the war's fallen soldiers was held at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. This ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, and Inspector General Dani Levy.
A second state ceremony, honoring the victims of the massacre and their bravery, took place at 2:00 PM at the memorial site for victims of hostile acts, also located on Mount Herzl. President Isaac Herzog, speaking at the flag-lowering ceremony at the President's Residence, stated that the act signifies Israel's shared national grief. He dedicated the day to the memory of all those murdered and fallen in the October 7th terror attack and the subsequent Swords of Iron War, including men, women, children, the elderly, civilians, and soldiers. Herzog also acknowledged and saluted those who were physically and mentally wounded, continuing to bear the scars of October 7th and the war.
