STORYLINE:
One year after Hamas attacked Israel, triggering the conflict in Gaza, thousands across Latin America took part in vigils and demonstrations in support of both Israel and the Palestinians.

Hundreds of members of the Argentine Jewish community, the largest in Latin America, held a ceremony in memory of the victims of the attack.

A similar ceremony took place in Santiago, Chile, which was attended by Gil Artzyeli, the Israeli ambassador to the country and his U.S. counterpart, Bernadette Meehan.

Others took part in protests in Lima, Bogota and Mexico City in support of the Palestinians, demanding an end to the conflict.

One year ago, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,200 Israelis, taking 250 people hostages, and setting off a war that has shattered much of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
