LIVE: Israel Marks National Memorial Day to Honor October 7 Victims Amid Escalating War Tensions

Israel is marking the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attacks with a newly established national memorial day dedicated to those killed in the assault and soldiers who died in the war that followed. Under Israeli law, the observance falls on 24 Tishrei rather than October 7 itself. Flags have been lowered to half-mast at the Knesset, the President’s Residence, police facilities and military bases, while state ceremonies at Mount Herzl and memorial events, rallies and testimony sessions are being held across the country. The day also honours civilians and security personnel who were killed, as well as survivors and families continuing to live with the consequences of the attacks and war.

The 2026 observance comes amid a broader national reckoning over the events of October 7 and the failures that allowed the attack to unfold. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has said Israel has a duty to fully investigate the Hamas-led attack and learn its lessons, adding a focus on accountability alongside remembrance. The anniversary is also being marked through ceremonies involving bereaved families, former hostages, survivors and communities directly affected by the assault, while some families and political figures are using the moment to push for changes in government and national leadership. The memorial day therefore serves not only as a tribute to the dead, but as a moment of reflection on the security failures, human cost and lasting impact of October 7 and the war that followed.
