Lawmakers, pastors, rabbis, music artists, and community members all came together for the Tennessee Rally for Israel on Legislative Plaza.

The Hamas attack left thousands of people dead or wounded.
Some of their family members and loved ones were at the Tennessee Rally for Israel to show their solidarity. Red balloons were tied to the back of empty chairs, symbolizing the more than 200 civilians taken hostage by the terrorist group.
