Israel Marks Third Anniversary of October 7th Massacre Amid Calls for Truth and Accountability

Three years after the October 7th massacre, Israel observes the anniversary with a clearer, though painful, understanding of the events.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted a memorial for victims of the October 7 attacks at New York's Union Square Park on Wednesday. Demonstrators chanted insults at Mayor Zohran Mamdani and drowned out speakers with slogans, including "Long live Hamas."

Pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian groups later confronted each other verbally, separated by police, with no arrests reported.
