Today marks three years since the October 7 attack. In 2021, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. This event started the ongoing war in Gaza.
Across Israel, people are gathering to remember those who died or were taken hostage during that day. Many visited the site of the Nova music festival, where a large number of people were killed. Others returned to the towns near the border that were hit the hardest.
It is a day of deep sadness for many families. They are honoring their loved ones who were lost three years ago.
At the same time, the war that started that day is still going on. In Gaza, the situation is very difficult. Many people there are living in crowded tent cities. Much of the area is in ruins because of the fighting that has lasted for three years.
News outlets around the world are sharing photos and stories about the anniversary. The day highlights the pain felt on both sides of the conflict. While Israelis mourn the victims of the initial attack, Palestinians are facing the reality of the war that followed.
