Israel is observing a state memorial day for the victims of the October 7th massacre, three years after the Hamas attack. The day began at 6:29 AM with the lowering of national flags to half-mast at national institutions, marking the exact time the assault commenced. A state memorial ceremony for the war's fallen soldiers will take place at 11:00 AM at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. This ceremony will be 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.
