Israelis on Lufthansa flight stand for Memorial Day siren – ‘Exactly at this time in Israel millions of people are standing in honor of the fallen,’ one man explains to bewildered passengers | The Times of Israel

A group of Israelis on a Lufthansa flight on Sunday stood for a moment of silence on the Jewish state’s Memorial Day to honor the men and women who died during active duty or were killed in terror attacks.
The group of Israelis on the flight — which was on its way from Marrakesh to Munich — stood in the aisle silently for one minute at 8:00 p.m. Israel time, when the traditional siren marking the start of Memorial Day is heard in Israel.
