At 6:29 a.m. Israel time on October 7, 2023, Palestinian Hamas terrorists invaded Israel.

They stormed communities, murdered families in their homes, r***d, burned and kidnapped.

Three years on, Israel remembers the victims and the barbarity of Palestinian jihadist terrorism.

We will never forget.
