Copenhagen remembers Hamas attack victims

In Copenhagen, hundreds commemorated the victims of Hamas’ attack from October 7 last year at Israel’s Square. Organized by Kehila DK, the ‘365 Days in Hell’ demonstration ensured high security, especially after the recent arrest of two Swedes for grenade attacks near the Israeli embassy in Denmark. Participants remembered the approximately 1,200 killed and 251 hostages, with around 100 still unaccounted for. The event, featuring Danish national songs and speeches by political figures like Inger Støjberg, emphasized unity across backgrounds and politics. The day concluded with a march to the synagogue in Krystalgade.
