Israel observed a somber Memorial Day, commemorating 1,594 lives lost, including 760 soldiers and 834 civilians, since the last Memorial Day. The day was marked by national ceremonies, including a moment of silence and the lowering of flags. Concurrently, the ongoing conflict with Hamas saw multiple rocket attacks from Gaza, including barrages targeting Ashkelon and Sderot. The Iron Dome intercepted several rockets, although some caused injuries and property damage. President Isaac Herzog, during a ceremony at the Western Wall, wore a torn shirt symbolizing mourning, reflecting the nation's heavy heart amidst the dual backdrop of remembrance and ongoing conflict since the October 7 massacre.
