Israelis marked on Oct. 7 the first anniversary of the deadly attack by the Hamas terrorist group that plunged their nation into war.

Ceremonies across the country began with a moment of silence at 6:29 a.m.—the exact moment a year earlier when Hamas launched a rocket barrage from Gaza providing cover for 3,000 terrorists who stormed into Israel, killing 1,200 and abducting more than 200.

At the order of Israel’s Home Front Command, the moment was not marked by sirens. Air-raid sirens are still heard daily in Israel. National memorial sirens are traditionally reserved in Israel for Holocaust Remembrance Day and Memorial Day.
