Israelis gather to mark one-year anniversary of Hamas attack (20 images)

By UPI Staff

Israelis mark the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terror attacks on their communities on Monday. Families gather outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private residence at 6:29 a.m., the time that Hamas militants attacked Israelis in the Gaza border communities, and large groups come together at the memorial at Re'im in southern Israel. Hamas invaded Israeli communities, killed some 1,200 people and took more than 215 hostages into Gaza. They still may hold some 100.

Hostage and bereaved families gather on October 7, 2024, outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private residence at 6:29 a.m., the time at which Hamas militants attacked Israelis in Gaza border communities, to remind him that their loved ones were captured and murdered due to what they say was his abandonment.
