Memorial siren to sound at 8 p.m., bringing country to standstill

A siren is set to bring Israel to a standstill at 8 p.m., marking the official start of Memorial Day.

The somber minute of silence will be followed by the official ceremony at the Western Wall, which will be attended by the president and IDF chief of staff, but with no one in the audience.
