Miami Beach Stands With Israel

Miami Beach, FL – Mayor Steven Meiner and members of the Miami Beach City Commission will reaffirm support for Israel at a ceremony on Monday, Oct. 7 at 9:30 a.m. to mark the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack. Nearly 1,200 Israelis were murdered, including women and children. As many as 100 of the more than 250 hostages abducted a year ago are still being held captive.

“We stand with Israel now and forever,” said Mayor Steven Meiner. “In this moment of profound pain, we reaffirm our steadfast and unshakable support for freedom, democracy and the core values that bind us. The October 7 attack is Israel’s 9/11 — an unimaginable tragedy that will never be forgotten — and only strengthens our resolve to stand united with Israel in the face of evil.”

The event will be held outside Miami Beach Fire Station No. 2 at 2300 Pine Tree Drive.

The eight Miami Beach firefighters who volunteered to travel to Israel shortly after the massacre plan to attend the ceremony. The firefighters filled in for some of the country’s first responders who were called to military service.
