Israel Prepares to Mark Third Anniversary of October 7 Hamas Attack

Israel prepares to mark the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, which killed approximately 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage. Commemorations are planned with the country approaching the October 27 election, as accountability debates over intelligence failures continue. The National Security Council had previously warned that the anniversary period was a 'particularly sensitive' security window.
