00:30Exactly a year after the devastating October 7, 2023 Hamas assault, Israel found itself
00:44once again in the grip of violence.
00:47The month was the same, and the style of attacks was almost similar.
01:02The situation on the ground was nothing short of horror.
01:06On one side, armed Hamas gunmen stormed into Tel Aviv, shooting and killing multiple people.
01:12On the other, moments later, Iran unleashed its largest ever barrage of ballistic missiles
01:19at Israel.
01:20A shocking escalation in an already unstable region.
01:24As the ground shakes and sirens scream, the Middle East hangs in a dangerous balance.
01:42With the world holding its breath to see what will happen next.
01:47What will this day mean for the future?
01:50On October 7, 2023, a day that was meant to bring joy, turned into a nightmare that shook
01:56Israel to its core.
01:58As the nation gathered to celebrate Shemini Ejderet, Hamas unleashed a well-planned assault,
02:04catching everyone by surprise.
02:07Within a few hours, the country was engulfed in tears.
02:11Over 1,200 lay dead, and 240 others were taken hostage.
02:17This dark day became the deadliest for Jews since the Holocaust, unleashing a wave of
02:22violence that continues to crash upon the shores of the nation.
02:26The echoes of that fateful morning still haunt the streets, a chilling reminder of how quickly
02:32peace can shatter, and how deep the scars of flaws can run.
02:36At 6.30am on October 7, the skies over Israel darkened, with over 2,200 rockets hammering
02:44down in a storm that overwhelmed the island.
02:48As sirens blared and chaos spread, Hamas fighters tore through Israel's heavily fortified borders
02:55at multiple points, using explosives and bulldozers to breach defences.
03:00In a chilling twist, they invaded civilian areas, military posts, and even a coastal
03:05town by boat.
03:06From the skies, motorised paragliders carried more attackers into the heart of the violence,
03:12adding to the shock.
03:14The world watched in disbelief as homes were invaded and festival-goers massacred, leaving
03:20a stunned nation in mourning.
03:23In retaliation, Israel responded with overwhelming force.
03:28Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war on Hamas, launching a massive bombing
03:33campaign in Gaza.
03:35The airstrikes targeted housing blocks, tunnels, and Hamas offices, resulting in the deaths
03:41of over 400 people in Gaza, including many children.
03:46Netanyahu vowed mighty vengeance for what he termed a black day in Israeli history,
03:52as the nation braced for the escalating conflict.
04:03In the wake of the terrorist attack against the State of Israel and its citizens, we are
04:08in this.
04:09From the early hours of the morning, when I entered the security system, I started first
04:14of all to clear the settlements and the terrorists who entered.
04:18This action is being carried out at this time.
04:20At the same time, I instructed to carry out a wide-ranging evacuation and to return the
04:24rest of the war with force and force, so that the enemy will not know.
04:29The enemy will pay a price that he will not know his death.
04:33I call on all the citizens of Israel to listen carefully to the command of the army, to the
04:37command of the border patrol.
04:39We are at war and we will win it.
04:43The air was thick with grief and fury, marking the beginning of a devastating cycle of violence
04:48that would leave deep scars on both sides.
04:51But October 8 carried a different weight, hinting at the conflict's potential to spiral
05:07far beyond Gaza's borders.
05:09Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militia from Lebanon, unleashed a barrage of rockets into Israel,
05:15igniting fierce exchanges of artillery fire across the border.
05:20Meanwhile, tragedy struck in Alexandria, Egypt, where two Israeli tourists were gunned
05:25down, a chilling reminder that violence was spreading like wildfire.
05:31The air crackled with tension as the region held its breath, sensing that this was just
05:36the beginning of a storm that could engulf neighbouring nations.
05:40The delicate balance of peace was teetering on the edge, and the shadows of conflict loomed
05:45larger than ever.
05:47As Israel's airstrikes intensified, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza spiralled into a nightmarish
05:55reality.
05:56By the end of October, over 1.4 million Palestinians had been forced from their homes, marking
06:03this as the deadliest conflict for Palestinians since 1948.
06:08The ground invasion into Gaza was pathodical and relentless, each advance revealing the
06:15staggering scale of devastation.
06:18Buildings crumbled, lives shattered, and hope flickered like a dying flame.
06:23In November, the Rafah border crossing into Egypt was momentarily opened, offering a fragile
06:28lifeline for foreign nationals desperate to leave the kiosk.
06:33But as the gates opened, the destruction within Gaza only worsened, painting a grim picture
06:38of a land engulfed in despair.
06:41The world bore witness to the tragedy unfolding, a haunting taboo of loss and suffering, echoing
06:48the high cost of conflict.
06:51The cries for peace grew louder, drowned out by the relentless roar of war.
07:01Amidst the escalating violence, there were brief glimmers of hope.
07:05In November, a prisoner exchange mediated by Qatar and Egypt led to a temporary seven
07:11day pause in fighting.
07:13Israel released 240 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for 110 hostages.
07:19But this fragile ceasefire soon ended, and fighting resumed as Israel pushed further
07:24into Gaza, seeking to eliminate Hamas' leadership.
07:42As 2024 unfolded, the conflict deepened into a grim saga of suffering.
07:48By May, Israel initiated Operation Arnon, a full-scale invasion of Rafah that forcibly
07:55displaced nearly 800,000 Palestinians, uprooting lives and scattering families.
08:01The humanitarian situation deteriorated further as aid deliveries were delayed, and civilians
08:07became ensnared in the deadly game of crossfire.
08:12Desperation hung heavy in the air, like a shroud, with international calls for a ceasefire
08:16growing louder, echoing through halls of power and across the globe.
08:21Yet amid the clamour for peace, it remained painfully elusive.
08:26The landscape bore witness to the stark reality.
08:29Shattered homes, empty streets, and the silent cries of those caught in the turmoil all painted
08:35a tragic portrait of a region yearning for relief from an unending cycle of violence.
08:40While the war between Israel and Hamas dominated headlines, another confrontation was brewing
08:46in the background.
08:47In April 2024, Israel struck Iran's Damascus embassy, killing senior Quds Force officers,
08:55which led to Iranian missiles and drone attacks.
08:58Although many of these were intercepted by Israel's defence systems, the region braced
09:03for further escalation.
09:04By mid-2024, public dissent against the continued violence grew.
09:09Protests erupted across Israel, demanding action from Prime Minister Netanyahu, who
09:15insisted that the war would continue until all Hamas strongholds were eliminated.
09:20Meanwhile, global support for Israel began to wane as the civilian death toll in Gaza
09:26climbed.
09:27By September, the conflict had spread far beyond Gaza.
09:31Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated in an Israeli strike, and Iran responded
09:37by launching a 200-ballistic missile barrage at Israel, which were intercepted.
09:45This widening conflict involving Hezbollah, Houthis forces from Yemen, and Iranian-backed
09:50militias showed no signs of slowing down.
09:53The crisis in the Middle East has turned into a larger regional conflict, with Israel fighting
09:58on multiple fronts.
10:00It is conducting ground raids in Gaza on its southern front, and in Lebanon on its north.
10:11It also faced a wave of missile attacks from Iran, which backed Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah
10:16in Lebanon.
10:17A retaliation is expected any time.
10:21Israel has also been conducting airstrikes in Yemen and Syria.
10:25As we reflect on the events that have unfolded since October 7, 2023, one thing remains clear.
10:32The region is caught in a cycle of violence with no clear end in sight.
10:36From the streets of Tel Aviv to the ruins of Gaza, the human cost of this conflict continues
10:42to rise.
10:43The world watches, hoping for a path to peace, but the road ahead remains uncertain.
