3. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Shani Ashkenazi, Jerusalem resident:
"I felt that the world was collapsing, that everything was falling on me, that the ground I was stepping on was unstable. My mind was noisy, my head was shaking. It flooded me from head to toe. I held my head and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing on TV was what it was. Because somehow I was trusting our army and I knew that our intelligence was among the best in the world, and I couldn’t understand how this was happening to us, how could it be happening."
4. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Racheli Mor Davidson, Jerusalem resident:
"I would ask from President Biden or from the Presidents in the world, all the leaders there, to help us, please, and support us in releasing the hostages. And in general, to support us more morally because we are a very humanitarian people. We are very considerate. We are very much people who are trying to not harm civilians and are willing to do everything in order for a country to be protected, so we can live in peace and tranquility."
5. Various of Israeli flag in market
STORYLINE:
A market in Jerusalem was relatively empty on Monday as Israelis were holding vigils and somber ceremonies to mark a year since Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack, the deadliest in the country’s history which sparked the war in Gaza and scarred Israelis indelibly.
The surprise 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.
Jerusalem resident, Shani Ashkenazi, said she could not believe what she was seeing as she recalled hearing about the attack a year ago on TV.
"I felt that the world was collapsing, that everything was falling on me, that the ground I was stepping on was unstable," she said.
"My mind was noisy, my head was shaking. It flooded me from head to toe. I held my head and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing on TV was what it was."
Hamas’ attack, which killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and dragged some 250 into Gaza as hostages, continues to cast a shadow over daily life in Israel.
For the dozens of hostages still in captivity, there is no end in sight to their struggle.
Border communities have been upended and tens of thousands were displaced.
Israel is also facing an ongoing international criticism over its wartime conduct, with two world courts examining its actions.
