  "account": "Three years have passed since the Hamas attack on southern Israel, and the country is commemorating the victims of the terror assault. President Isaac Herzog lit a candle in his Jerusalem residence at 6:29 a.m. local time to remember the dead and injured. At this time, the assault began, claiming the lives of approximately 1,200 people. \"Three years since this terrible morning, three years of pain, loss, and a memory that cannot be erased,\" he wrote on the social media platform X. Police also gathered at the sites of the previous clash in the south of the country, including in Sderot, to pay tribute to their fallen colleagues, according to the police on X. Mourning individuals also gathered on the grounds of the Nova Music Festival near the Kibbutz Reim to remember their deceased loved ones and friends. The central commemoration ceremony in the evening is expected to see around 50,000 people gather in a park in Tel Aviv, according to Israeli radio. During the assault on October 7, 2023, 251 people were also taken hostage to Gaza. According to Israeli estimates, around 6,000 terrorists from the Islamist Hamas and other extremist groups entered Israel that day. After the assault, according to the health authority under Hamas control in Gaza, more than 74,000 Palestinians were killed.",
