Gaza: Year of destruction and displacement
It's a year since the Hamas attack on Israel triggered the war in Gaza.
People across Israel and the world are remembering last year's 7 October attacks, in which Hamas killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostage. Since 7 October, nearly 42,000 people have been killed during Israel's campaign in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
