The Petah Tikva municipality is holding a series of events throughout the week to commemorate the three-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks and the subsequent "Swords of Iron" war. The events aim to honor the fallen, embrace bereaved families, and foster remembrance, commemoration, and heroism.
The memorial activities commenced on Monday, October 5, 2026, with two main focal points. At 6:29 PM, a brief memorial ceremony took place at the "October 7" bridge (Operation Dekel 12), followed by a 7-kilometer remembrance run and march symbolizing memory, unity, and hope. Concurrently, the "Golda" House Theater hosted the city's official memorial ceremony, attended by families of fallen soldiers Inbar Hyman and Eden Nimri.
On Tuesday, October 6, at 8:00 PM, four locations across the city will host "The Voice That Remains" sessions. These personal dialogue circles will feature bereaved family members sharing stories of heroism, life, and longing for their loved ones.
The memorial week will conclude on Wednesday, October 7, at 7:30 PM in the "Yad LaBanim" auditorium. Lieutenant Eden Ram, who survived a life-threatening injury sustained in battle at the Urim base, will deliver a lecture titled "On Life and Death." She will share her inspiring survival story and her choice to live. Admission to this event is NIS 25, with advance ticket purchase required.
The Petah Tikva municipality emphasized that even three years later, the pain and memory remain profound, and the city will continue to grow from this experience through community connection, mutual responsibility, and hope.
