Israelis held memorial events across the country three years after the Hamas-led 7 October attack, including at Nir Oz kibbutz, where 47 residents were killed and 76 taken hostage; some survivors have returned to rebuild the community.

First-time voters shaped by the attack are reportedly leaning right ahead of upcoming elections.
