Marking 3 years since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel

Survivors of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas in Israel spoke with CBS News to recount the harrowing day. Family members of those who did not survive remember them and their legacies.

On a field where music festival revelers were gunned down by Hamas-led militants three years ago, Israelis on Wednesday embraced and wept for those lost in an attack that plunged the Middle East into war.

Demonstrators brought traffic to a standstill on Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway on the third anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel. The protesters called for a state commission of inquiry into the failures surrounding the attack.

Israelis gathered in vigils across the country to remember the terror attack’s victims. In New York City, anti-Israel groups rallied and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s post on the attacks drew criticism.
