Israel today, May 12, took to X to remember the victims of the War of Independence and other wars ahead of the country's Independence Day. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Israel said that the country will come to a halt for 24 hours to mark one of the most difficult Memorial Days since Israel's foundation. "Every single Israeli knows someone who was murdered, kidnapped, or injured on and following October 7th," the tweet read. Every year, Israel observes Memorial Day, also called Yom HaZikaron. This year, the Israel Memorial Day or Yom HaZikaron begins at sundown on Sunday, May 12 and ends at nightfall on Monday, May 13. With the Shock of October 7 Still Raw, Profound Sadness and Anger Grip Israel on Its Memorial Day.
