Israel Marks Third Anniversary of October 7 Attack Amid Ongoing Gaza War and Regional Instability

Israelis are commemorating the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, which killed 1,200 people and led to a devastating war in Gaza. The conflict has left much of Gaza in ruins and its two million people in dire humanitarian conditions, with Israeli strikes continuing almost daily despite a ceasefire. The anniversary also highlights broader regional confrontations involving the U.S. and Iran, and Houthi rebels striking Saudi targets. European leaders have also marked the anniversary, condemning the attack and the global rise in antisemitism.
