Haifa's giant Israeli flag lowered to half-mast • On a day of tears, remembrance and heroism, 3 years since the events of October 7 and the "Iron Swords" War

A whole nation bows its head, the State of Israel marks today (Monday, 10/5/2026) three years since the attack, the war, the terrible massacre and the events of October 7, 2023 that began at 06:29 a.m. on that black Sabbath of the holiday of Simchat Torah.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that just this morning, the giant Israeli flag in Haifa, located in the Haifa Port complex, on a mast over 40 meters high, opposite Palmer Gate in the lower city, was lowered to half-mast. It is also the largest portable flag in the world, which recently traveled to the city of Haifa, after being removed from Kfar Shmaryahu following a lengthy legal dispute.

The giant flag can be seen from almost anywhere in Haifa, from Mount Carmel and really from almost anywhere in Haifa. The flag became a symbol after the events of October 7th.
