Israel started celebrating its 76th independence day with ongoing conflict against Hamas terrorists. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a torch-lighting ceremony, highlighting the nation’s resilience in the face of adversity. Israelis mark their independence day on May 14th, the day when the Jewish community declared independence following the expiration of the British Mandate in Palestine. The day also reflects on the history of conflict and displacement in the region. Despite the challenges, Jewish communities worldwide join in the celebrations, with events like a carnival in South Africa. The transition from Memorial Day to Independence Day is a poignant reminder of the nation’s perseverance.
