Israelis gathered at memorial sites across the country to mark the moment the Hamas-led attack began on October 7, 2023, an assault that triggered the subsequent war in Gaza.
Commemorations were held at locations associated with the attack, including communities and sites that were directly affected, as families of victims and survivors came together to remember those killed and taken hostage that day.
The anniversary carries particular weight in Israel, where the events of October 7 are widely regarded as one of the most significant and traumatic days in the country's recent history, prompting a large-scale military response and a war that has continued to affect the region.
Memorial events have become a recurring feature of the anniversary each year, drawing attention to the ongoing impact of the attack on survivors, bereaved families, and communities located near the Gaza border.
The commemorations come as the broader conflict and its humanitarian and political consequences continue to shape developments in the region three years on.
