Three years after the October 7th Hamas attack, the city of Lod is holding memorial events for its residents who were killed or fell in the conflict. Among those remembered is Sergeant Noa Elazar Lax, 21, a Sayeret Matkal commando who died defending Kibbutz Be'eri. Ron Shemer, 23, was killed at the Nova music festival. Border Police Sergeant Major Roman Gendel, 47, fell in battle near Nir Am. Sergeant Major Avraham Neriah Cohen, 21, who was at the Nova festival, ran towards his base to get armed and call for reinforcements before being killed in a firefight. Reserve Sergeant Major Mordechai Chaim Amoiel, 42, a father of six who volunteered for reserve duty, was killed in a battle in southern Lebanon on October 23, 2024.

On Monday, the Mayor of Lod, Yair Revivo, visited the cemetery to pray at the grave of Ron Shemer, the son of a city employee. Revivo stated, "Lod remembers and will not forget its dear sons... Each of them is a world unto himself and a story of love for the land, devotion, courage, and heroism. It is our duty as a city and a community to stand by the families, to embrace them, to tell the stories of their loved ones, and to pass on their legacy to future generations."
