Israel marks the first anniversary of a tragic attack by Hamas with President Isaac Herzog leading commemorations honoring the victims. The attack occurred at the Nova music festival, where 364 people were killed by Hamas-led fighters. Families and friends of the victims gathered for memorials, reflecting on the tragic event.
President Herzog called the attack a “scar on humanity” and urged global support against Israel’s enemies. Meanwhile, protests outside Prime Minister Netanyahu’s residence demanded the return of captives still held in Gaza. The anger has been mounting over the government’s failure to bring them home and enter a ceasefire.
As Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza and clashes with Hezbollah, concerns of a full-scale regional war rise. Hamas and its allies pledge to keep fighting, with recent rocket attacks on Tel Aviv. Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker highlights the need for a political solution to end the conflict.
