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.

The war -- which started after Hamas launched a surprise terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that killed roughly 1,200 Israelis, and Israel responded by declaring war -- has led to thousands of people killed and injured in the Gaza Strip and Israel, as Israeli hostages are still being held in Gaza.

Israel and Hamas delegations convene in Egypt one day before the 2nd anniversary of Hamas terror attacks to negotiate details of President Donald Trump's comprehensive peace proposal.

The talks, which went on for several hours, unfolded amid questions about President Trump's proposal last week, including the disarmament of the militant group.

As Israel opened aid routes in July, the IDF said in a statement that that there is "no starvation in Gaza."
