We are remembering the attack of October 7.
Israelis were currently holding programs to commemorate the October 7 Hamas attack, which sparked war in Gaza and Lebanon. Hamas launched rocket attacks on Israel on October 7 and in the war since then, Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon have been killed.
Just hours before this attack, an attacker had attempted to stab Israeli soldiers in Hizma, near Jerusalem. However, the army killed him there.
