ANNIVERSARY of INFAMY - October 7, 2024

Israel On Oct. 7th, 2024: Honoring the Dead, Praying for Hostages after Hamas 'Scar on Humanity'

JERUSALEM, Israel – Today is October 7th. One year ago, terrorists from Gaza attacked Israeli communities, killing 1,165 people and taking 251 hostages – the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Now, Israel is fighting a multi-front war against Iran's proxy armies and has been attacked twice. Even as Israel prepares its response to Iran's latest barrage, the nation is remembering the victims of October 7th.

At 6:29 a.m. one year later – marking the moment the terrorists from Gaza breached the fence into Israel – President Isaac Herzog observed a moment of silence at the site of the Nova Music festival in memory of those killed and kidnapped.

Herzog described the attack as a "day of infamy" and a "scar on humanity."

Of the victims, the president said, "Blessed be those who fell, who were murdered and killed here. Young people who came to celebrate and enjoy dance and music – to live a real life of young people as any young person should be entitled to. Let us remember them forever. Let us pray, and pay remorse, pain, bereavement, and condolences to their families."
