PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Community members in the Ocean State are set to commemorate October 7.

Rhode Islanders are looking back on a year of conflict and protests as the war in Gaza continues.

The Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island will hold its memorial event at 7 p.m. tonight at the Dwares Jewish Community Center on Elmgrove Avenue, marking one year since the attacks in Israel.
