Israel mourns and remembers victims of the Holocaust
Israel came to a halt as citizens marked Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis during World War II.
Sirens rang out across the country bringing drivers to halt, and they stood by their cars for two minutes' silent reflection.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the occasion to warn against what he called a new threat to Jews from Iran.
There are more than 207,000 holocaust survivors living in Israel.
There are 63,000 fewer survivors remaining compared to two years ago, figures show.
