Remembering the many victims on Memorial Day
Today was Israel's Memorial Day for soldiers fallen in wars, and also victims of terrorism. As noted:
The number of civilians who have been killed in “hostile acts” since the end of the War of Independence is 2,576, Haaretz reported, citing the National Insurance Institute. Some 31 civilians died as a result of terrorist attacks in the last year.Remembering victims of jihadism is something that had to be done ever since the Oslo accords. Here's more on the Jewish Press about the ceremony at the Western Wall plaza.
