Israel is set to hold memorials for the victims of the brutal October 7 attack, which marked the beginning of the ongoing conflict in the region. President Isaac Herzog will lead a key memorial service in Sderot, one of the hardest-hit cities during the attack by Palestinian militants. The day will also see rallies and memorial events across various locations deeply affected by the violence.

Memorial Services and Ceasefire Rally

A rally calling for a ceasefire in Gaza will take place at Beeri, a kibbutz where over 100 people were killed during the October 7 attack. Additionally, a memorial is scheduled at Kibbutz Reim, the site of the Nova music festival, where militants killed hundreds of attendees. These events will mark a one year painfully anniversary of the day that changed the course of Israeli-Palestinian relations.

Government Statement

In a statement made on Saturday to mark the anniversary, President Herzog reflected on the ongoing suffering caused by the October 7 attack. He spoke of the enduring trauma and uncertainty for the families of hostages still held in Gaza. “Our wounds still cannot fully heal because they are ongoing. Because hostages are still being tortured, executed, and dying in captivity,” Herzog said.

He also emphasized that the terror of that day continues to linger for many. “In many senses, we are all still living the aftermath of October 7,” he added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to deliver a televised address to the nation on Monday. While details about official events to mark the anniversary remain unclear, Netanyahu’s address will likely focus on the impact of the October 7 attack and the ongoing war.

Hostage Families to Stage Protests

As part of the memorial events, families of hostages being held in Gaza plan to stage a demonstration in Tel Aviv, starting on Sunday. They are demanding the release of their loved ones, as many continue to suffer the uncertainty and anguish caused by the October 7 attack. The demonstration will take place in Israel’s commercial hub, as other events are also being organized to call attention to the plight of the hostages.

The Deadliest Attack in Israel’s History

October 7, 2023, will be remembered as one of the bloodiest days in Israel’s history. On that day, Hamas militants launched an unprovoked and deadly attack on Israel by air, sea, and land. The assault, which came at the end of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, became the deadliest in Israel’s history.

Hamas militants stormed army bases, kibbutz communities, and the Nova music festival, where at least 370 people were killed. The total number of hostages taken by Hamas on that day was 251, with 97 still captive, including 33 who are confirmed to have been killed in Gaza, according to the Israeli military.

Current Death Toll and Hostages

A year after the attack, the confirmed death toll on the Israeli side has risen to 1,205, including hostages killed in captivity, most of which were civilians. The ongoing war, fueled by the October 7 assault, continues to rage, with the region remaining on the brink of further escalation.
