Memorial events are taking place in israel and Around The World to remember the victims of the hamas attacks on israel exactly one year ago in which nearly 12 Hundred people were killed and Two Hundred and fifty ta ken hostage. In israel, shortly after daybreak, president Isaac Herzog joined a Memorial Service at the scene of the Nova Music Festival marking the moment it came under attack. The time was 6 29am when Southern Israel awoke to the sound of sirens along the gaza border. Only a few moments later, sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and nearby cities in central israel. At 6 50am, hamas fighters breached the border fences, entering israeli communities and launching attacks in multiple locations. By 8 04am, the Israeli Army in multiple locations. By 8 04am, the Israeli Army declared a State Of Alert for war, and idf soldiers began deploying to areas under attack. At10 25am, Idf Spokesperson Daniel hagari announced operation swords of iron. Before noon, prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the nation from Tel Aviv, declaring that israel was at war. As fighting continued in Southern Israel, by 3 41 in the afternoon, Israeli Fighterjets began striking targets within gaza. That is the backdrop of what happened i2 that is the backdrop of what happened 12 months ago. Straight to Tel Aviv. Lyse doucet. As you can see behind me, very Poignant Memorial is getting under way. Poignant memorial is getting underway. It Poignant Memorial is getting under way. It is being called the peoples memorial, not a government event, organised by the bereaved families, the Loved Ones of hostages still being held in gaza. Some of the leading celebrity is a visual will gather here Tonight to honour the victims of October Seven. You may be able to see on this stage behind me, they have brought some of the smashed cars from the Nova Music Festival, desperately tried to escape in the early hours of the morning, the festivalgoers, to find themselves murdered or dragged across the border by the fighters of hamas. Also swings and a bicycle. Used to be 1000 Strong Kibbutz which boasts over 100 of its members on the dreadful morning of October Seven. We will be here for a while to be part of this memorial, to watch and observe what is happening here. There will also be a minute of silence but lets get all the latest developments on a day of Mourning And Missile fire. Yolande knell. Siren wails. Sirens marked the exact moment a year ago when israels deadliest day began. Waves of hamas fighters from gaza led a bloody attack on a dance festival, Army Bases and villages, seizing hostages. This is a day of painful remembrance. They destroyed our house and our life. Oh, god, where are you . This woman from Nir Oz going back to the home where her Mother And Niece were killed. Her Son And Daughter were kidnapped by hamas and held for 52 days before they were released in a truce deal. But she says they are still living the nightmare of the 7th of october. Her Ex Husband is one of dozens of hostages stuck in gaza. Last seen alive in a tunnel by his daughter. We know that every moment his life is. Can be gone. Our life is on hold. We cant think. About future, we cant think about nothing else. Last years shocking assault triggered the deadliest ever war against palestinians. With relentless israeli bombardment. Most of Gazas Population forced from their homes. A humanitarian catastrophe. And every day brings new casualties. Last month an israeli Air Strike hit the Younis Family home, killing a six year old and his grandmother. Translation i want to know why. We are civilians, we pose no threat. Now in hospital, ahmed tries to cheer his surviving children with memories of happier days. They have lost all they owned and they are in constant pain. Translation i want my children and my wife to be treated. If i could, i would take them abroad. There is no safety. I hope from god that the war stops today before tomorrow. Instead, the fighting is now spreading in the Middle East, and that leaves many palestinians and israelis desperately worried that World Attention is shifting away from their suffering. Yolande knell, Bbc News, jerusalem. You will hear behind me the powerful voice of the israeli Music Star singing a lament, song of sadness as you can see on this combined with the names of those taken as hostages and murder behind me. 1200 israelis murdered on the Southern Israel regions, the Towns Kibbutz in those communities. One year on, around 101 people are still believed to be hostages in gaza, many feared dead. Todays ceremony has been organised by the bereaved families, those who still have Loved Ones in gaza, who lost Loved Ones and are angry at the government for not doing more to bring them home. The israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he is doing everything he can. I should says he is doing everything he can. Ishould have says he is doing everything he can. I should have a go he held a special meeting of his Security Cabinet inducers lets hear what he had to say. Members of the government, citizens of israel, we are gathering today for a special morning meeting. One year ago, hamas terrorists launched a murderous Surprise Attack against the state of israel, against the citizens of israel. Shortly after that massacre, i said, we are in a war. Not an operation. We will fight back with the force the enemy has never known. We are at war and we will win it. Since that black day, we have been fighting. This is a war for our existence and the war of resurrection. I this is how i would like to officially call the war. We are changing the Security Reality of our region for the sake of our children, for the sake of our future, and to ensure what happened on October Seven will not happen again. There are Security Fears even as preparations were under way to have a Memorial Service, the Air Raid Siren sounded, everyone here had to take cover, a missile we understand was fired by the houthis in yemen sailed overhead. In Tel Aviv in the north, around here, in haifa, and in communities in Southern Israel, from gaza must White Necked Picathartes militants fired rockets into militants fired rockets into israel. We are going to speak shortly to a man from one of the kibbutz is who lost a member of his family but never a Moment Of Silence. Now a Moment Of Silence. The Moment Of Silence has now ended, the Memorial Service here in the parking Tel Aviv, it is continuing, celebrities joining the families of those killed or hurt as hostages, coming together in the ceremonial of remembrance. At the same time what has come to be known as hostages square, a rally of the hostages who have night after night been protesting, calling on the government to do much more to bring their Loved Ones home. We can cross the hostages square. I know this is a difficult day for you. Yes, quite i know this is a difficult day foryou. Yes, quite a i know this is a difficult day for you.

A week later, when fighting here ended, the bhars returned to find muhammed dead. This is the bloodstained sofa where the dog attacked him. Three months on, Muhammeds Room has been left in darkness.
