Israel Memorial Day



Everything stops [including traffic] as a siren sounds
throughout Israel for "The Day of Rememberence"


IDF Chief: We Shall Not Back Down If War Is Forced on Us - Lilach Shoval

Israelis across the country stood for a minute of silence Sunday [night], when the siren marking the opening of Memorial Day was sounded. [Another siren sounded for two minutes Monday morning]. Flags throughout Israel were lowered to half-mast.
