Injerusalem, crowds held pictures of the hostages, and demanded Prime Minister netanyahu, ensure their safe return. There have been powerful explosions in Southern Beirut overnight as israel carried out fresh Strikes Israel has also launched fresh strikes on targets in gaza. This is the scene live in beirut as lebanon now reckons with the aftermath of those strikes. 0ur middle East Correspondent Yolande Knell looks now at a year of devastating conflict and failed diplomacy. This was israels deadliest ever day. Exactly one year ago, waves of hamas fighters from gaza led a bloody attack on Israeli Army bases, villages, a music festival. Snatching hostages. And it triggered the deadliest ever war against palestinians. With relentless israeli bombardment, most of Gazas Population forced from their homes. A humanitarian catastrophe. Theres still no end in sight. They destroyed our house and our life. Hadas calderon from Nir 0z going back to the home where her Mother And Niece were killed. Her Son And Daughter were kidnapped by hamas and held for 52 days before they were released in a truce deal. But hadas says theyre still living the nightmare of the 7th Of October. Her ex husband, 0fer, is one of dozens of hostages stuck in gaza, last seen alive in a tunnel by his daughter. We know that every moment his life is. Can be gone. My daughter, she said, because she met him and he told her, please fight for me, i dont want to be dead, to die here in the caves. Whole life is on hold, hold. We cant think about future, we cant think about nothing else. Repeated attempts by us, egyptian and qatari diplomats to negotiate a Gaza Ceasefire and Hostage Deal have failed. And every day in gaza brings New casualties. Family home in nusseirat, killing hassan, aged six, and his grandmother. Translation i want to know why. We are civilians, we pose no threat. Now in hospital, Ahmed Younis tries to cheer his surviving children with memories of happier days. Theyve lost all they owned and are in constant pain. Translation i want my children and my wife to be treated. If i could, i would take them abroad. There is no safety. I hope from god that the war stops today before tomorrow. But instead, the fighting is now spreading in the middle east. And that leaves many palestinians and israelis desperately worried that World Attention is shifting away from their suffering. People across israel and across the world have been marking the one Year Anniversary since the 7th Of October attacks. These are the live pictures on the screen, people continuing to reflect. Lets go to Lyse Doucet who is standing by. Newjoiners in the community of one of the towns which came under attack in the horrific onslaught by hamas fighters, which began at Dawn On October the 7th one year ago. This used to be a thriving community of about 1000 people. To be a thriving community of about1000 people. Now to be a thriving community of about 1000 people. Now it feels like a ghost town. You can see behind me, the charred remains of one house on the eve of October The 7th. It had been celebrating a birthday party, many of the people. They were home to many left Wing Peace activists. Now the future is not on anyones mine, they are still very much grieving, it is still very much grieving, it is still raw, an open wound with so many here saying, and indeed across israel, that the pain will still be stuck on October The 7th, until all of the hostages, about 100, still held to held in gaza, still to be counted for. As we heard from your land in these unprecedented times, there is unprecedented times, there is unprecedented suffering across the border in gaza. We can hear the border in gaza. We can hear the sounds of israeli Artillery Firing into Gaza And Hamas has been Firing Rockets and some have landed on Southern Israel and others went as far as Tel Aviv where the Air Raid sirens went off, causing panic. Lets take a moment to reflect on events and the tragic events of October The 7th. Lets bring in the father of anna shapiro, one of the 1200 israelis murdered on that day.

He came to the shelter, he was the last one entering the shelter and there were already 28 people. Among them, muslim, jews, other religions, but he didnt care. He stood at the entrance to the shelter and he said, keep your heads down and lay down on the floor and i will take care of you. He stood at the entrance and he found a bottle of beer and he broke the bottle of beer and he broke the bottle of beer and he stood and waited for the terrorists to enter. They started shooting and they couldnt hit him by shooting so they were throwing grenades inside. As you can see in the movie he picked up the grenades, one after the other, eight grenades, he succeeded in throwing out.

It was a big shock for us because we prayed for the release. Since then i have met many families. Only from my sons class, two other Class Members were killed and from his school there were eight people who were killed. We know many families in our neighbourhood that were killed by the hamas terrorists. Such closeknit by the hamas terrorists. Such closeknit communities by the hamas terrorists. Such closeknit communities here | by the hamas terrorists. Such L Closeknit communities here in close knit communities here in the south that have been shattered by these events. As i am sure you have seen, you may have been part of the families of the Loved Ones of the hostages have been protesting Night After night, calling for a ceasefire, calling for more to be done by the government to bring the hostages home. Have you beenjoining those protests or sharing those sentiments . I or sharing those sentiments . I joined them because the hostages is one of the most humanitarian things we have to do. But hamas is playing with the lives of the palestinians, definitely with the lives of israelis. It is not interested in any kind of agreement. That is what we are facing, cynical. It is not keeping the lives of its own people and im quite pessimistic in the diplomatic efforts. I think it is the most important thing, humanitarian thing the country should do for its own people, save the citizens. Innocent citizens, babies and elders, Boys And Girls that were kidnapped, raped, tortured, the most important thing is to save them. The other side is not willing, that is what is sad in this story. It is not willing, it is causing suffering for the palestinians as well. We dont want the palestinian civilians to suffer, we dont want our people to suffer. But the other side, they are terrorists and they dont mind. Side, they are terrorists and they dont mind. Thank you so much for they dont mind. Thank you so much forjoining they dont mind. Thank you so much forjoining us they dont mind. Thank you so much forjoining us on they dont mind. Thank you so much forjoining us on a much forjoining us on a difficult day for you and your Family and your many friends in israel. ~ ,. Family and your many friends in israel... As we have been reporting, rockets fired from hamas have reached as far as central israel. These are the latest pictures we have received. The Air Raid sirens went off, a warning to the people. Israelis may not have expected them on a day like this, but they were on high alert and they will warm the Commemoration Today could be marred by violence. As we reported, hamas said it managed to fire rockets and some of them landed in Southern Israel and there are reports now and images coming from central israel, Northern Israel as well, of rockets landing there. Lets get an update on the latest developments. Our middle East Correspondents Hugo Bachega and Yolande Knell updated me on the situations from beirut and jerusalem. I began by asking about the attacks today. Indeed, it remains a very tense time. A short time ago we had Rocket Warning sirens going off in Tel Aviv and in the centre of israel. This after hamas said it fired two of its longer range rockets in that direction. Earlier in the day we had reports of something like four projectiles being fired from the Gaza Strip towards the communities around the edge of the perimeter and the israeli military said those were intercepted or landed in open areas. But its still a reminder that hamas has this capability after one year. In the north of the country, hezbollah has been firing and we have been hearing about continuing alarms in the occupied going heights, most notably for israeli citizens. For the first time this morning, haifa was hit directly by rockets. Also there were rockets that hit in tiberias and also on top of that, two drones that were intercepted in the centre of israel coming in from the east. The country had been told to stay in a high state of alert, one year on from this massive national security failure. You know, you can see how people remain sort of waiting to see what happens next. There are restrictions on gatherings which will limit the size of some of the events planned for later and in fact, the official Government Event is taking place without a live audience. In part because there was an expectation of disruption, possibly heckling from the crowd, but also because of the security threat. Hugo in beirut, we can tell viewers there is the sound of the Buzz Night and day of the drones where you are. What is the latest this morning after another night of heavy bombardment . Yes, i think you can probably hear the sound of drones flying overhead. This has become the New reality here in beirut. A city that is very much at the centre of this war of this israeli campaign against hezbollah. Overnight, more israeli Air Strikes, around a Dozen Air strikes hitting where hezbollah has a very strong presence in beirut. We have seen footage from one of those locations hit with secondary explosions, suggesting weapons and ammunition where being stored there in this place. And these Air Strikes have continued. We havent seen any indication from the israeli military, from the israeli authorities that these attacks are going to stop. The israelis feel they have been extremely successful in degrading hezbollah, in hitting many of the groups positions and infrastructure and by decimating its entire leadership. I think here, the concern in lebanon is that this could be the beginning of a wider offensive by the israeli military, along offensive by israel against hezbollah. This morning, the Israeli Army announced more troops have been deployed to southern lebanon. Thousands more troops potentiallyjoining this campaign by the Israeli Army against hezbollah. But hezbollah remains defiant. This morning they released a statement saying they are confident in the ability of our resistance to repel the israeli aggression. State M E nts statements of defiance, rockets being fired in both directions and also the memorial is taking place throughout the day here in israel. Lets look at the images from the israeli parliament. At 6. 29 this morning flags were lowered at Half Mast. 6. 29 was the moment where rockets fired from gaza started raining down on Southern Israel. It marked the start of Hamas Rampage across the south against Army Bases and also the site of the nova music festival, where a celebration, which went on through the night turned into a slaughter. You are watching Bbc News across the united kingdom and Around The World. We are alive today on Southern Israel. It was a sabbath and ajewish israel. It was a sabbath and a jewish festival, one year ago today. It is a day of mourning, vigil is being held in this kibbutz, right across the Southern Israeli community and across israel and Around The World. Lets cross to New york to see how this day, these horrific events, which triggered a devastating war in gaza and then another one in lebanon and fears of an ever escalating conflict in the region. Lets see how the events, the deaths and the missing will be remembered in New york. Are there any major official events planned today . That morning. There are gatherings in cities across the country today, honouring those killed on October The 7th and those who have lost their lives since. Mostly organised by synagogues and advocacy groups, but there are anti israel demonstrations planned for today. Although those who lost Family members try to honour their Loved Ones. On the political side, their Loved Ones. On the politicalside, president their Loved Ones. On the political side, President Biden will mark the anniversary with a Candle Lighting at the white house, honouring the victims. Kamala harris and a husband, who is jewish, Kamala Harris and a husband, who isjewish, will plant a Memorial Tree at her residence. Former President Donald Trump will attend a Memorial Service in New york later day, meantime in New york later day, meantime in the us, joint federal Intelligence Bulletin obtained by Cbs News warns of potential violent Extremism And Hate crimes committed in response to the one year on from the October The 7th. It was given by the Fbi And Homeland security and the agencies found the one Year Mark of the attack as well as any further significant escalations in the war may be a motivating factor for violent Extremism And Hate crime perpetrators to engage in violence or threaten public safety. The bulletin also provided several recent examples of such threats, but at least at this early hour we have not seen any of those Threats Ring true. This have not seen any of those Threats Ring true. Threats ring true. As they commemorate Threats Ring true. As they commemorate two Threats Ring true. As they l commemorate two political leaders are also expressing their views on the escalating war.

But said it was time for the war to end war to end. This is an important war to end. This is an important question i war to end. This is an i important Question And War to end.

Thank you forjoining us live from Southern Israel as part of our continuing special coverage of the horrific events of october the horrific events of October The 7th in the war that followed. Hello. A mixed Day Today and what will be a fairly mixed week of weather. In the first half of the week when The Sun shines out between the showers feel quite mild, but the second half of the week the winds pick up and its going to be a cold wind at that, all due to the presence of an Ex Hurricane. Now at the moment its just this area of low pressure responsible for the showers well see. Weather front is being tangled across the north of scotland so far today. Further Cloud Outbreaks of rain here. But elsewhere that mixture of sunshine and showers showers continue to develop more widely through england, wales during the afternoon, some of which will be heavy and thundery. But therell be places that stay dry. So a brighter afternoon for northern ireland, northern England And North wales in The Sunshine. Warm at this stage in october. Temperatures mid to high teens, finish the day though, with some Heavy Rain in the southwest that will spread northwards across england and wales for a time into northern ireland. Some clear skies either side of it, so there could be one or two Mist Orfog patches, but the general flows from the south so it wont be a cold night. Temperatures eight to 12 degrees. As we go into tomorrow, though, it could be a damp start though. Northern England Northern Ireland that rain spreads its way into central southern scotland, and it could become fairly slow moving. Large Rainfall Totals through parts of central eastern scotland. To the north of it a cold breeze developing, but a drier day compared with today. To the south of it for much of england and wales sunshine and showers again, if anything, those showers more widespread than today. But in The Sunshine it will feel warm. Now at The End of the week will be governed by this area code. This is hurricane kirk. Its decaying now as it pushes over colder waters, but the area of low pressure that is left will then run. It looks like increasingly to the south of us, across parts of continental europe, but it will still have an impact on our weather as it pulls away in drawing down colder, strong winds. Now this is linked to hurricane kirk, Ex Hurricane kirk, which is to the south of us on wednesday. Its still far away, but could be enough to give some persistent rain to the Channel Islands and the far South East of england. One to watch, but away from ita fair bit of cloud occasional showers and turning colder from the north. Now the centre of that Storm System pushes continuing towards denmark as we go through into thursday. And that opens the door to colder air for more of us on thursday, and some particularly strong winds down the eastern coast. Rough seas and dangerous around some of the coasts, i suspect. But a story of sunshine and showers for many on thursday. But by the afternoon, a much chillierfeel and a frosty night will follow. This is Bbc News, the headlines. Vigils in israel and Around The World, a year on from the October 7th attacks, when hamas gunmen killed 1200 people. At 6. 29 this morning flags were lowered to Half Mast outside the knesset.
