Israel Marks 1,000 Days Since October 7 Massacre

Israel is marking 1,000 days since the Hamas-led October 7 massacre with memorials, a Gaza-border convoy, testimony exhibits, protests and a 10 a.m. moment of silence. The October Council, representing bereaved families, survivors and former hostages, opened events at 6:29 a.m., the time the invasion began, and planned a convoy from the Nova site near Re'im through devastated communities including Nir Oz, Kissufim, Be'eri, Nahal Oz and Kfar Aza before an evening rally at Hostages Square. Israeli reports agree the day carries two demands: national remembrance and a state commission of inquiry. Israel honors the murdered and rescued by remembering clearly, demanding accountability and keeping Hamas from ever repeating October 7.
