Israel observed its Memorial Day for fallen soldiers amidst the ongoing war in Gaza, now over 18 months, marking its longest military conflict ever. The day began with a nationwide siren, prompting a moment of silence among drivers and pedestrians. At the memorial services, grief was palpable, exemplified by a father's outburst against the government while remembering his son, a soldier killed in combat.
