As Americans marked the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on Wednesday, the State of Israel expressed its solidarity with the US in the ongoing war against global terrorism.

“Israel stands shoulder to shoulder with America in the fight against terrorism, and grieves with families of the victims of the #September11 attacks,” the Jewish state’s Foreign Ministry tweeted. “In commemoration, two gigantic torches were lit, symbolizing the Twin Towers at Israel’s 9/11 memorial in Jerusalem.”
