Israel marks two years since Hamas attack amid ongoing Gaza conflict

Israelis across the country gathered to mark the second anniversary of the October 7th attack by Hamas militants, which left about 1,200 people dead and 251 others taken hostage in southern Israel. The day also marks two years since the start of Israel’s military offensive on the Gaza Strip, a campaign that has so far killed more than 67,000 Palestinians, injured over 150,000 others, and left widespread destruction in its wake
