Thousands of flags were placed across Beverly Gardens Park, each representing victims from more than 30 nations who died during the attack in Israel by Hamas.
"We need to remember it," said Barbara Lucas of Sherman Oaks. "We need to recognize that people of all countries were affected, that lives were affected."Thousands of flags were placed across Beverly Gardens Park, each representing victims from more than 30 nations who died during the 2023 attack in Israel by Hamas.
On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas stormed from the blockaded Gaza Strip into nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others in an unprecedented surprise attack. "We need to remember it," said Barbara Lucas of Sherman Oaks. "We need to recognize that people of all countries were affected, that lives were affected."
A similar flag memorial was on display in January after many demonstrations were seen across Beverly Hills following the deadly Oct. 7 attack that started the war. One couple who was visiting Southern California from Israel spoke with Eyewitness News Tuesday and said they were shocked when they stumbled upon the art installation.
"My parents fled Nazi Germany during the Holocaust and this obviously means something very special to me," said Beverly Hills Mayor Lester Friedman. "They always taught me never to forget, never again, and never again is happening right now."Copyright © 2024 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
