It is marking the October 7th anniversary on October 5 because its official national memorial day is determined by the Hebrew calendar. Flags were lowered to half-mast on public buildings at 6:29 am, at the time the attack began three years ago. Hamas militants killed around 12-hundred people and took more than 250 hostages. In response, Israel launched a war on Gaza, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and displacing much of the territory's population. #dwcurrentaffairs 00:00 Israel marks third anniversary of October 7 attack 00:00:37 Official remembrance ceremony in Jerusalem 00:00:46 Israeli PM Netanyahu vows to keep pursuing Hamas militants 00:01:16 Shani Rozanes, DW correspondent talks to DW 00:01:26 How Israel is commemorating October 7 over several days 00:02:18 Why the state-led remembrance events remain divisive 00:04:21 Elections, Netanyahu and the battle over October 7 narratives 00:06:15 Gideon Levy, Israeli journalist and Haaretz columnist talks to DW 00:07:03 Debating responsibility for October 7 and Netanyahu's political future 00:10:39 Gaza after the war: ceasefire, reconstruction and Israel's future challenges For more news go to Follow DW on social media ► ►TikTok ► ► ►Reddit Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie Subscribe
