STORYLINE:
Families of those killed at the Nova music festival were gathering on Monday at the site where almost 400 revellers were gunned down and from where many others were taken hostage a year ago.
Israelis were holding vigils and sombre ceremonies on Monday to mark a year since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack, the deadliest in the country’s history, which sparked the war in Gaza and scarred Israelis indelibly.
The surprise cross-border attack, which caught Israel unprepared on a major Jewish holiday, shattered Israelis’ sense of security and shook their faith in their leaders and their military.
Its aftershocks still ripple one year later.
The war in Gaza rages on, Israel is fighting a new war against Hezbollah, which began attacking Israel on Oct. 8, and an escalating conflict with Iran — which backs both Hamas and Hezbollah — threatens to drag the region into a far more dangerous conflagration.
In Gaza, which is still buckling under the weight of the ongoing war, no formal commemorative event is planned.
The massive destruction and displacement are a constant reminder of the retaliatory Israeli assault on the territory, which has no end in sight.
