Members of the Jewish diaspora of Edmonton gather during a candlelight vigil and community-wide Havdalah ceremony to mark the one-week anniversary of the Hamas terror attack in Israel, on October 9, 2023, in Westridge Field, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas-led militants launched a major offensive on Israel, firing over 3,000 rockets, causing 900+ casualties and a state of emergency.
The situation escalated globally: Western nations condemned Hamas, while some Muslim-majority countries blamed Israeli occupation and Palestinian rights denial.
