Two Year Anniversary Of Hamas’ Oct. 7 Attack

On Oct. 7 of 2023, Hamas stormed army bases, communities, and killed around 1,200 people.

October 7 marks two years since the start of the intense war between Israel and Hamas.

Many people have gathered in southern Israel to mourn the dead as the nation marks two years since Hamas first attacked. The group stormed army bases, communities, and killed around 1,200 people. They also seized many hostages, some of which remain in captivity.

The main memorial in Tel Aviv is planned for the evening. It is organized by the affected families and separate from a ceremony that the government is set to hold next week. The split in the ceremonies reflects deep divisions within the region.

Israel and Hamas continue to participate in indirect peace talks in Egypt, but have yet to reach an agreement on a ceasefire.
