Today marks the 1,000th day since the Hamas-led massacre of October 7, 2023, and civil society groups are holding a coordinated day of memorial events across Israel. The October Council, along with protest organizations, has organized a moment of silence at 10:00 a.m., marches and car convoys visiting communities near the Gaza border, lectures, testimonies, and a central rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv. The rally's central demand is the establishment of a state commission of inquiry into the events of the massacre, according to reports from N12 and The Times of Israel. As The Zioneer reported earlier (June 25), the October Council had announced the 'Day of a Thousand' event a week ago, and today's activities are the culmination of that planning. The events are taking place against the backdrop of ongoing war and political tension over the call for an independent investigation.
