Gov. Andy Beshear has ordered flags at all state office buildings to be lowered to half-staff from sunrise October 10 to sunset October 13 to honor the innocent lives lost during the attacks in Israel.

Gov. Beshear encourages all individuals, businesses, organizations, and government agencies to join in the lowering of the flags. Additional flag status information is available at governor.ky.gov/flag-status.

“Britainy and I are praying for the people of Israel,” Beshear said. “Every family deserves safety from violence. Attacks like these should not take place anywhere. Kentucky, please join us in praying for those families who have lost loved ones.”
