Herzl Cemetery, Jerusalem, on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026 - Copyright © africanews UPI (https://twitter.com/africanews) By Rédaction Africanews Last updated: 10 hours ago (http://www.africanews.com/tag/israel/) Israel Israel has begun marking the National Memorial Day for the October 7 attacks, with flags lowered to half-mast at the President’s Residence and the Knesset. Official state ceremonies marking three years since the October 7 attacks are expected to take place later on Monday in Jerusalem, with Israeli officials in attendance. Around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack and 251 others were abducted. The Palestinian death toll in Gaza from the nearly three-year Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 74,000. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog attended an official state ceremony in Jerusalem on Monday commemorating fallen soldiers and marking three years since the October 7 attacks. "In Gaza, there will be no rule by Hamas," said Netanyahu during the ceremony. "Anyone who was involved in the attack against us, anyone who held our hostages, is living on borrowed time. We will reach him, just as we reached the others.” You may also like (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-pm-vows-to-secure-sea-access-amid-fears-of-return-to-war/) (Ethiopia: PM vows to secure sea access amid fears of return to war) (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-pm-vows-to-secure-sea-access-amid-fears-of-return-to-war/) Ethiopia: PM vows to secure sea access amid fears of return to war 4 hours ago (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-federal-forces-advance-in-tigray-africanews-today/) (Ethiopia: Federal forces advance in Tigray [Africanews Today]) (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-federal-forces-advance-in-tigray-africanews-today/) 10:00 (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-federal-forces-advance-in-tigray-africanews-today/) Ethiopia: Federal forces advance in Tigray [Africanews Today] 5 hours ago (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-takes-oath-of-office-as-prime-minister/) (Ethiopia: Abiy Ahmed takes oath of office as Prime Minister) (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-takes-oath-of-office-as-prime-minister/) 01:00 (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-takes-oath-of-office-as-prime-minister/) Ethiopia: Abiy Ahmed takes oath of office as Prime Minister 7 hours ago Share (https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/israel-marks-october-7-attacks-with-national-memorial-ceremonies/) (https://twitter.com/home?status=http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/israel-marks-october-7-attacks-with-national-memorial-ceremonies/) (https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/israel-marks-october-7-attacks-with-national-memorial-ceremonies/) (mailto:?subject=Israel marks October 7 attacks with national memorial ceremonies&body=http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/israel-marks-october-7-attacks-with-national-memorial-ceremonies/) (whatsapp://send?text=http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/israel-marks-october-7-attacks-with-national-memorial-ceremonies/) More About (http://www.africanews.com/tag/israel/) (Israel) Israel (http://www.africanews.com/tag/israel-hamas-war/) (Israel Hamas war) Israel Hamas war (http://www.africanews.com/tag/israel-iran-conflict/) (Israel Iran conflict) Israel Iran conflict (http://www.africanews.com/tag/israel-palestine-peace-process/) (Israel-Palestine Peace Process) Israel-Palestine Peace Process (http://www.africanews.com/tag/israeli-politics/) (Israeli politics) Israeli politics You may also like (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-pm-vows-to-secure-sea-access-amid-fears-of-return-to-war/) (Ethiopia: PM vows to secure sea access amid fears of return to war) (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-pm-vows-to-secure-sea-access-amid-fears-of-return-to-war/) Ethiopia: PM vows to secure sea access amid fears of return to war 4 hours ago (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-federal-forces-advance-in-tigray-africanews-today/) (Ethiopia: Federal forces advance in Tigray [Africanews Today]) (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-federal-forces-advance-in-tigray-africanews-today/) 10:00 (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-federal-forces-advance-in-tigray-africanews-today/) Ethiopia: Federal forces advance in Tigray [Africanews Today] 5 hours ago (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-takes-oath-of-office-as-prime-minister/) (Ethiopia: Abiy Ahmed takes oath of office as Prime Minister) (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-takes-oath-of-office-as-prime-minister/) 01:00 (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/05/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-takes-oath-of-office-as-prime-minister/) Ethiopia: Abiy Ahmed takes oath of office as Prime Minister 7 hours ago On the same subject (http://www.africanews.com/2026/10/01/mass-funeral-held-in-gaza-city-after-105-bodies-recovered-from-rubble/) (Mass funeral held in Gaza City after 105 bodies recovered from rubble) NEWS 01:37 Mass funeral held in Gaza City after 105 bodies recovered from rubble 01/10 -
