The State of Israel on Sunday observed a National Day of Mourning for the terror attack on Oct. 7 last year, marking the Hebrew anniversary of the Hamas massacre in which over 1,200 Israelis were killed. Terrorists also kidnapped 251 Israelis and foreign nationals on what has come to be known in Israel as “Black Shabbat.”
