On the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack, Israel faced missile strikes from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. Palestinian militants in Gaza launched rockets during a memorial, but events proceeded without disruption. Hezbollah fired at Haifa, while Israeli forces expanded ground incursions into southern Lebanon. Missiles from Yemen were intercepted. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue Israel’s "war of resurrection." The conflict has left over 41,909 Palestinians dead, according to Gaza’s health ministry, with Lebanon facing extensive airstrikes. Western leaders expressed support for Israel, urging peace as families of Hamas hostages marked a painful anniversary.
