A vigil took place in Kirkland Saturday evening to honor the lives lost in the ongoing conflict in Israel.
The vigil was put together by the Iranian Community of the Greater Seattle area and members of the Jewish community as a way to show their support for everyone impacted by the Hamas attacks.
Many in attendance shared stories of how they have or know of people with loved ones who have been captured by Hamas. “My friend was one of them. He was taken into Gaza. Last night, I got a message that somebody knocked on their door and they found him dead. He died,” one man who spoke at the vigil said.
