US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden participated in a memorial Yahrzeit candle-lighting ceremony on October 7 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the deadly Hamas attack on Israel. This devastating attack, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of over 100 hostages. As Israel observed this sombre anniversary, Hamas attempted another rocket attack, which was thwarted by Israeli forces, preventing significant damage. Reports indicate that four rockets were launched, with three intercepted and one landing in an unpopulated area. Israel-Hamas War 1 Year: Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant Commemorates 1-Year Anniversary of October 7 Hamas Attack, Vows Continued Fight Against ‘Satanic Killers’.
