Israelis Mark 2nd Anniversary of Hamas Attacks with Commemorations and Protests

HeadlineOct 07, 2025

Israelis are marking the two-year anniversary of Hamas’s attack, which left 1,200 people dead, including more than 700 Israeli civilians and 79 foreign nationals. Memorial events are underway at kibbutzim in southern Israel where people were killed or kidnapped. Meanwhile, large rallies are being held in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem calling for the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza. Over the past two years, Israel’s indiscriminate war on Gaza has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians, including at least 20,000 children, though the figures are believed to be a vast undercount with thousands of bodies trapped under the rubble.
