(JNS) Israelis have marked the one month anniversary of the October 7 massacre that left at least 1,400 people murdered, 5,000 wounded and more than 200 snatched and held hostage in Gaza by Hamas terrorists.
At 11am, a national moment of silence was held, with local authorities lowering flags to half-mast. Memorial ceremonies are being held in educational institutions across the country today while late this afternoon and into the evening candles will be lit in town squares and city centres.
A memorial service for bereaved families scheduled in Tel Aviv at 6.30pm local time will include a performance by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. In Jerusalem, a memorial and rally highlighting the grief of bereaved families will take place at 7.30 pm in front of the Knesset.
Hamas terrorists continued to fire rockets at Israeli civilians on Tuesday, with sirens sounding in areas surrounding the Gaza Strip early in the morning and later in the morning in Ashkelon's industrial zone in southern Israel.
