Israel’s bombing of Lebanon left at least 23 dead and 93 injured, while in Gaza 45 were killed and more than 200 injured. Hundreds of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv this Sunday with candles, prayers and music, on the eve of the first anniversary of the Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza
This Sunday, Israel bombed several targets in Lebanon and Gaza, where the deaths in the last 24 hours are counted in the dozens, on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack against Israeli territory.
On this day there have been demonstrations around the world calling for an end to the Israeli attacks and also honoring the memory of those murdered by the Palestinian Islamist group.
The bombing continues on Lebanon, where at least 23 people were killed and another 93 were injured throughout Saturday in Israeli attacks, as reported this Sunday by the Ministry of Public Health.
The government department said in a statement that the victims were registered in the southern provinces of South Lebanon and Nabatieh; the eastern Bekaa and Baalbek-Hermel; as well as at the Mount Lebanon plant, adjacent to Beirut.
Israel also bombed the north of the country, where four people died, for the first time since it launched an intense campaign almost two weeks ago that has forced nearly 1.2 million people to abandon their homes and that has devastated entire towns.

In Gaza, the Israeli Army launched a new incursion into Jabalia, in the north of the Strip, after detecting the presence of “terrorists and infrastructure in the area”, as well as efforts by Hamas “to rebuild its operational capabilities”, as reported in a statement.
At least 45 Palestinians were killed and another 256 wounded in Gaza in the last day, after Israel bombed another school and a mosque, bringing the death toll since October 7 to 41,870 and the number of wounded to 97,166, according to the Ministry of Health of the enclave.
Israel: We are changing reality
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated this Sunday in a meeting with soldiers deployed on the country’s northern front, close to the border with Lebanon, that Israel is “changing reality from one extreme to the other.”
«A year ago we suffered a terrible blow. In the last 12 months, we are changing reality from one extreme to the other. “The whole world laughs at the blows you deal to our enemies and I salute you and tell you: you are the generation of victory,” Netanyahu said.
The Israeli Prime Minister spoke by telephone with the French President, Emmanuel Macron, who insisted that “the time for a ceasefire has arrived” in the Middle East.
The call came after Netanyahu reacted angrily to Macron’s request to stop arms supplies to Israel, a request that was welcomed by several Arab countries including Jordan and Egypt.
Hundreds of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv this Sunday with candles, prayers and music, on the eve of the first anniversary of the Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza.
The ceremony was organized in a concert hall in tribute to the victims of the Nova music festival, an event attended by nearly 3,000 people a few kilometers from the Gaza Strip.
Hamas fighters attacked the site on October 7, 2023, killing at least 370 people during the assault, according to official Israeli data. Photos of the victims were projected on a screen while participants lit candles, wrote messages or hugged each other in silence.
Demonstrations before October 7
This Sunday, demonstrations were replicated around the world on the eve of the anniversary of the Hamas attack. In Spain, thousands of people took to the streets for the second consecutive day in cities such as Barcelona and Valencia to call for an end to the “genocide” in Gaza.
In Morocco, thousands of people also took to the streets to demand an end to Israel’s attacks in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon and called for the severing of their country’s diplomatic ties with the Jewish State.
In Brussels, a hundred people demonstrated demanding the release of the Israeli hostages. “October 7 is an important date, that day Israel and the entire world woke up to images of horror that changed our lives forever,” said the organizers of the Belgian collective October 7, gathered in Luxembourg Square, in front of the European Parliament.
