The National Memorial Ceremony of October 7 Families (Hebrew: טקס הזיכרון הלאומי של משפחות 7 באוקטובר) was an Israeli national memorial ceremony, held on October 7, 2024. It marked an anniversary for the 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel. The event took place at Yehoshua Gardens in Yarkon Park, Tel Aviv, and was organized by Kumu, a movement founded by the families of Israeli hostages and their relatives.
Originally, the ceremony was planned to accommodate an audience of 40,000 people, but the scale was reduced due to security concerns and new instructions from the Home Front Command. In its final format, the event was primarily attended by the families of those kidnapped and killed in the Hamas-led attack on Israel. Despite the limited in-person attendance, the ceremony was broadcast across hundreds of places throughout Israel and aired on both national and international television networks.
Background
In August 2024, the Israeli government decided to hold a state ceremony commemorating an anniversary for the Hamas-led attack on Israel. The event was organized under the authority of Transport Minister Miri Regev. However, families of the victims - those kidnapped, murdered, or displaced - refused to participate in the government's event, citing the government's failure to take responsibility for its handling of the war. Instead, they announced plans to hold a separate ceremony to commemorate the massacre.
At the same month, an alternative event was funded through crowdfunding, and was planned to held at a location that could accommodate large crowds safely. Days before the event, a limit of gathering up-to 2,000 attendees was put in place due to the ongoing war and the threat to attendees from rocket attacks.
