Israeli strikes continue on anniversary of Oct. 7 Hamas attacks (original) (raw)

As Israelis held demonstrations and remembrances a year after Hamas killed and abducted hundreds of people on Oct. 7, 2023, the war in Gaza, which began in response to that day’s massacre, has not abated. Instead, the fighting has expanded to Lebanon, threatening to engulf the region in conflict. Rockets fired from Gaza sent Israelis into shelters on Monday, and Israel said it conducted strikes against Hamas targets across Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces said approximately 190 projectiles were fired from Lebanon toward Israel on Monday. Meanwhile, in Lebanon, Israel bombarded areas around the southern city of Tyre. More than 41,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. In Lebanon, hundreds have been killed and more than 1.2 million displaced, according to the United Nations refugee agency.
