For two years, Palestinians across the Gaza Strip have faced unrelenting bombardment, mass hunger and recurring displacement as Israeli fighting continues in the desolate territory.

Tuesday will mark the two-year anniversary of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack into Israel, which sparked the current conflict. Since then, a total of 67,139 Palestinians have been recorded as killed by IDF attacks, according to Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry data published Sunday.

As Israelis come together to mourn those killed two years ago by Hamas, the sounds of the ongoing war in Gaza reverberate over a solemn memorial.

Former Israeli generals link today’s hunt for Hamas terrorists to Golda Meir’s post-Munich strategy of retribution and deterrence, still shaping national defense five decades later.

Palestinian health authorities say Israel's two-year-old ground and air campaign against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip has killed more than 67,000 people, with nearly a third of the dead under the age of 18.

Over 1,000 synagogues and churches are honoring victims from Oct. 7 through a project that a South Jersey group helped coordinate.

Those claims continued to dog Israel in the second year of its conflict, as civilian casualties in Gaza climbed, mass hunger spread and the IDF repeatedly forced large numbers of Palestinians to relocate. As Israel opened aid routes in July, the IDF said in a statement that that there is "no starvation in Gaza."

Mamdani called for the return of the hostages​ and mourned the loss of lives on the day of the attack, while also condemning the Israeli government's response.
