A two-minute siren will sound at 11 a.m. nationwide in Israel as the country mourns its fallen soldiers and terror victims.
The siren will mark the start of dozens of ceremonies at military cemeteries across the country.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and Supreme Court President Esther Hayut will attend the main ceremony at Mount Herzl.
A range of ministers and MKs are slated to attend other events in a variety of cities, amid fears that some may be met with protests — especially National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir in Beersheba.
