Israel: A year on from October 7th
It’s been one year since October 7th.
One year since Hamas launched a terrorist attack of unthinkable violence on Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages.
It was the worst atrocity suffered by the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
In its wake came unspeakable suffering too, for the people of Gaza as Israel swore to wipe out Hamas. More than 40,000 are estimated to have been killed - making this an anniversary which has ensnared a whole region.
Now Lebanon, Iran and beyond are all caught up too.
As the consequences seem to grow graver by the hour: what hope for peace?
