Israel observed the third anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attack with silent tributes and renewed military operations in Gaza, Al-Monitor reported. The commemoration fell amid intensifying political disputes as the country prepares for elections where the attack and its aftermath will play a central role in campaign messaging.
The timing placed the commemorative events against a backdrop of continued conflict, with airstrikes on Gaza occurring as Israelis reflected on October 7—described as the country's deadliest day. Political parties are positioning themselves around responses to the attack and the ongoing war ahead of voting.
