A number of anti-government protesters briefly block the key Ayalon highway in the center of the country to hold a moment of silence for those killed in the Hamas-led onslaught on October 7, 2023, and in the subsequent war.

Additionally, activists dye the iconic fountain in Tel Aviv’s Kikar Dizengoff red, as the country marks three years since the devastating attack.
