Israelis held a memorial ceremony in Kfar Aza near the Gaza Strip on Tuesday to commemorate those killed and taken hostages by Hamas on 7 October, 2023.
The ceremony took place at 6:29 a.m, the hour when Hamas launched rockets into Israel at the start of 7 October.
The Kfar Aza kibbutz in southern Israel was ravaged and hit hard two years ago when Hamas overwhelmed Israeli border defences with a surprise assault and dragged 251 hostages back into Gaza.
Also visitors gathered at the memorial site at the Nova Music Festival in Reim, where more than 360 people were killed and dozens taken hostage. They marked the anniversary as the sun rose, walking among rows of posts erected with photographs of the victims.
There are 48 remaining hostages in the Strip, 20 of whom are believed to be alive.
The Hamas-led assault, in which about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed according to Israeli tallies, triggered a massive military retaliation that has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza according to health authorities.
