And injerusalem, they have again been mass protests from the families and supporters of hostages still being held in gaza by hamas and fury at the government here. Wake up listen to The Public and what The Public is demanding. It is very difficult with hamas, but this is what we have to do. A year ago, israelis were united in their revulsion at What Hamas had done, but 12 months and with scores of hostages still being held, The Public, its politicians and the military, they are all divided over strategy in gaza. A year ago, israel had much of the world sympathy, but with over 40,000 dead in gaza, a lot of of that sympathy has gone. As israelis prepare to mark October The 7th, the country is now fighting wars on multiple fronts. Jon donnison, Bbc News, jerusalem. Sundays strikes occurred almost exactly one year on from october 7th. Jordan zilberman who was born and raised in kibbutz nir 0z. She told my Colleague Lyse Doucet about her experience that day and the harrowing Phone Call she received from her father. A whole day are feeling terrified and helpless, trying to guide him through the phone, knowing everything that is happening in the kibbutz and feeling helpless. And coming back here today, i know there has been a Commemoration Today for one of their families. What for one of their families. What is the mood for one of their families. What is the Mood Today . For one of their families. What is the Mood Today . We for one of their families. What is the Mood Today . We hear l for one of their families. What. Is the Mood Today . We hear from two of our is the Mood Today . We hear from two of our members is the Mood Today . We hear from two of our members that is the Mood Today . We hear from two of our members that are two of our members that are from here, that they tried to defend their families and the community. Theirfeelings defend their families and the community. Their Feelings Today are very very hard because we are very very hard because we are still waiting. We are waiting for bodies, we are waiting for bodies, we are waiting for bodies, we are waiting for people that are still being held hostage in gaza and it has been one year. Of course, such a close knit community, you lost people very near to you. Community, you lost people very near to vom near to you. That is true, and losin near to you. That is true, and losing peeple near to you. That is true, and losing people who near to you. That is true, and losing people who have near to you. That is true, and losing people who have died l near to you. That is true, and l losing people who have died is one thing but losing people who are still alive and their souls are still alive and their souls are restless is another thing. And losing a place that has been a home for so many families that are now living in completely different conditions than they are used it as something very hard to handle. For everyone, of course, burdened by the pain of the past. We can feel it here, it is raw. Many of them were peace activists, working with people across the border in gaza. How do you see the future . It is really hard do you see the future . It is really hard to do you see the future . It is really hard to think do you see the future . It 3 really hard to think about the future when we are not done with bringing people back. None of us can think of the future. We are hoping to rebuild something here but we dont know for. We are hoping to rebuild it because it is our home but we do not know who would like to be here and who would like to be here and who would come back from there. We are praying that we can bring our people back, some are dead, murdered. Some might still be alive. But for many families, with children have given up their opportunity to live here. With people on the other side of the border and the feeling of the border and the feeling of being insecure in this peaceful place, it is a paradox. So i do not know about the future, we are living there now, we want them now back. 0ver now, we want them now back. Over the past year, israel says it has destroyed most of hamass Military Command and infrastructure, do you feel safe now here . Infrastructure, do you feel safe now here .

Residents say a sweet shop operated here and we can actually see some bags of the shop, and the Israeli Military has often accused hezbollah of hiding its facilities in residential areas and under civilian buildings. This is a built up area here in beirut, not really far from the airport. And we have seen that nearby buildings have also been partially destroyed, heavily damaged and we have been told by residents that nearby residential buildings have been evacuated following orders by the Israeli Military.
