Israelis mark three years since Oct. 7 as Palestinians mourn Gaza’s destruction
The attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, were the deadliest day in Israel's history, and Israel's subsequent actions in Gaza have killed more than 74,000.
Kfar Aza, Israel/Gaza - Israelis commemorated the three-year anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Wednesday, mourning victims of the assaults that triggered Israel's military response in Gaza. In Gaza, Palestinians living amid the ruins of destroyed cities recalled their lives before the war, which displaced nearly the entire population and fractured families.
The Oct. 7, 2023 attacks remain Israel's deadliest day in history, with Hamas militants killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages in a cross-border incursion that left Israelis traumatized and demanding government accountability.
