This morning, the Knesset lowered the Israeli flags at its main plaza at 06:29, marking the national memorial day for the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre. The act was documented by Knesset spokesperson photographers and published by N12 journalist Daphna Liel. The flag-lowering is a traditional symbol of national mourning, typically performed at government institutions on designated memorial days. The ceremony coincides with the broader national commemoration period: as The Zioneer reported yesterday, a state memorial ceremony is scheduled for today at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, with a separate civil ceremony planned later this week at Yarkon Park organized by bereaved families.
