Commemoration of the Hamas Attacks

The first anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel saw world leaders join Israelis in honoring the victims. Memorials were held at key locations, including the site of the Nova Music Festival, which became the scene of tragedy when over 300 people were killed. Relatives of the victims expressed their ongoing trauma and called on leaders to work towards the release of hostages still held by Hamas. The mood in communities such as Kibbutz Beri, which suffered the most fatalities, remains deeply affected, reflecting a raw and pervasive grief that has yet to be healed.
