Israelis gathered on October 7 to remember the victims killed a year ago in the deadly attack by Hamas militants, the Palestinian group designated by the United States and EU as a terrorist organization. Ceremonies started at 6:29 a.m. local time, the moment the attack started. Relatives of hostages still being held in Gaza rallied outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in Jerusalem as Israeli flags at parliament flew at half-mast. In Tel Aviv, women formed a human chain. And at Kibbutz Reim, electronic music was played to honor those who were killed or abducted at a music festival.
