Commemorations have begun for the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s deadly October 7 attack that killed some 1,200 people and ignited a war that threatens to spill over into a wider conflict.
Israel is still fighting in Gaza and engaged in a new war to the north in Lebanon against the Hamas ally Hezbollah, while preparing its retaliation against Tehran over an Iranian missile attack last week.
The offensive in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and caused destruction across the territory. On Monday rockets were fired from both Lebanon and Gaza into Israel.
