Marking Memorial Day, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir calls to rebuild from loss, defend Israel’s future, and uphold the legacy of generations past.

This year’s memorial observance comes in the shadow of the devastating events of Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists launched a brutal attack on Israeli communities, resulting in profound national trauma and renewed security challenges. Zamir noted that “many new names” had been added to Israel’s memorial walls in the past 18 months.

Ceremonies begin throughout the country for those who gave their lives ensuring the future of the People of Israel.
