The Shomron Regional Council is commemorating the three-year anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attacks, honoring 37 residents who were killed and 266 who were wounded.

We will continue to remember their names, tell their stories, and educate in the spirit of the values they left behind." He also offered support to the wounded, saying, "Your heroism continues in rehabilitation, in the efforts and small steps of each day. We will not forget their testament and legacy. We will build up the Shomron and the State of Israel even more, for them and for future generations."
