Israeli women pay their respects Tuesday at the memorial to the victims of the attacks by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, at the Nova Festival site in Reim, Israel. Hamas-led militants killed 1,200 people and abducted 251 others, leading to a devastating war followed by a fragile ceasefire. Israel’s defense minister on Tuesday said he had put the military on high alert before the anniversary of Hamas’ attack, warning Gazans would pay a “heavy price” if forces were harmed.
