And that leaves many palestinians and israelis desperately worried that World Attention is shifting away from their suffering. Well, i have been speaking to our correspondent and she was reflecting just how much israel has changed over the past year. Much israel has changed over the past year the past year. This is, you know, the past year. This is, you know. A the past year. This is, you know, a remarkable the past year. This is, you know, a remarkable Day L the past year. This is, you know, a remarkable day going back to one year ago when i was in the office. It happened, of course, the 7th of October Attacks happened on a major Jewish Holiday and, really, just the scale of them talk people very much by surprise. We had not seen something like that before, evenjust we had not seen something like that before, even just the amount of Rocket Fire early in the day was unprecedented. That had me racing into the office but quickly, those rockets were reaching as far as jerusalem and we started to hear these reports of hamas led fighters, breaking out from the perimeter fence, attacking military bases, which we never fortified. These villages, seen around gaza, but also you know, going to this dance festival, where more than 360 people were killed that day. And, you know, the reports were hard to believe, as they were coming out of my mouth. And i think, you know, many israelisjust felt, for weeks after that, any deep sense of shock because this really was the Countrys Sense of its own invincibility, its military might that were shattered and, with it, is really is a sense of security. Now, one year on, that sense of security, yes, there have been military successes but people still feel that things are in a state of deep uncertainty. As we have been hearing there is support for the war in gaza, for its aims of defeating hamas, removing the threat from gaza, bringing back the hostages. There is also a lot of frustration among israelis that, you know, really, all of those aims have yet been met and have now added to the objective of getting people back to their homes in the north of the country. Tens of thousands of people displaced Tjy Thousands of people displaced by the war that has gone on in parallel to The One in gaza, the Cross Border exchanges between israel and his brother. Now turning into a Ground Invasion and another war and another front. Invasion and another war and anotherfront. And, you know, i think, many israelis still in disbelief that they have got to this point and the work could be widening yet. After those enormous Rocket Attacks by iran last week, something that all is with his been told to go into their Bomb Shelters across the country. It has been a year of unprecedented events when you and think about it. You and think about it. Lets no you and think about it. Lets to back you and think about it. Lets go Back A you and think about it. Lets go Back A year you and think about it. Lets go Back A year and you and think about it. Lets go Back A year and look you and think about it. Lets go Back A year and look at l you and think about it. Lets i go Back A year and look at how events unfolded. At 6 29am Sirens sounded in Southern Israel along the border with gaza. A few moments later sirens were heard in central cities. Hamas forces breach the Border And Launch multiple attacks. By sioiigtt� i the Israeli Army declared a State Of Alert for war and an army declared a State Of Alert forwarand an Army Army declared a State Of Alert for war and an army of soldiers began deploying into areas under attack. At 10 25am we heard from an idf spokesperson, announcing and operation. Benjamin netanyahu addressed Benjamin Neta Nyahu addressed the Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation declaring that israel was at war. As fighting continues in Southern Israel, tjy continues in Southern Israel, by 341 in the afternoon, israeli Fighter Jets by 341 in the afternoon, israeli fighterjets began. My israeli Fighter Jets began. My colleague israeli fighterjets began. My colleague has been speaking to a former national Security Advisor of and this is what he shared with us. I advisor of and this is what he shared with us. Shared with us. I think that it is delusional shared with us. I think that it is delusional to shared with us. I think that it is delusional to think shared with us. I think that it is delusional to think there i shared with us. I think that itj is delusional to think there is now, emphasising now, any arab country that can enter gaza, Fight Hamas and neutralise its military capabilities. These capabilities does not exist, not with any palestinian society. We have huge experience about it. The only way to achieve what people think that it should be achieved at The End, that it would be an area in gaza in which the efforts will take part is only if israel destroyed hamas. Dont make a combination of arab and western countries, i dont mind. What i know for sure, based on long experience, that only the can Smash Hamas to the level in which hamas Cannot Stop The Process and probably hopefully will take part in the future in which the Gaza Strip will be disarmed without any Military Capability and the De Radicalisation and education will take part and will change the mood in the way of thinking of those who are living in gaza because remember, hamas is not an organisation which was imposed from the outside on gaza. Hamas is an organisation which was elected by the people of hamas, the Gaza Strip. It came from within the palestinian society in gaza. It was born in gaza and we have to change the education but for changing the education you do situation in which hamas cannot threaten those who would come in to try to change the culture of the society and that can be done only by israel, only by the idf. And it will take a year to prepare the ground for new voices which will come Eitherfrom New Voices which will come either from the palestinian society or arab state, to Change Gaza dramatically. Dramatic changes right across the region over the past 12 months. We reflect now and where this leaves is real and the wider middle east. On a Day Like today when israel is commemorating instead, and the missing, perhaps the population would like to have had a moment of repose to think about what has happened and where they are going but actually, right now, israel is at war. It is a war on multiple fronts, still in gaza, there is a lot of trouble on the West Bank and they are sending several more divisions, two more divisions, i believe, to south lebanon, to beef up their invasion there. So is real now, as well as commemorating exactly what happened a year ago, there is increasing pressure to go after the country that they believe was really behind those attacks, funding hamas. And thatis attacks, funding hamas. And that is iran. The islamic regime in tehran. So, israel, prime Minister Netanyahu has said that after last weeks ballistic Missile Attack by the iranians, that israel is going to hit back. He said that no other country in the world would do anything other than that. So he has to decide what to do. President biden has made his views clear. He said dont hit the nuclear facilities. His views clear. He said dont hit the nuclearfacilities. The massive nuclear industry. Dont also hit petrochemicals because, lets face it, big spike in Oil Prices and Petrol Pricesjust for the us spike in Oil Prices and Petrol Prices just for the us election would not be a popular thing in a very close race. There are limits, though. To americas influence on this. Joe biden has chosen, over the months, not to use the levers he could have used to influence israeli policy when he has not been very happy with it and i think thatis very happy with it and i think that is left him now and quite a powerless state so it is down to netanyahu. What does he do . Does he have the kind of response to around that iran might be able, somehow, to say, all right, we are even. They have actually said they are going to hit back if they are attacked by israel. Or does he go in very, very hard . And there is increasing pressure to do that in israel because they are saying that, after the military successes, israel has had against irans strongest ally has mack lebanon, that lebanon and the islamic regime are weakened and this is the moment to really go after them. Once in a generation opportunity. I think that would be dangerous talk. As he was saying, if youres strikes on lebanon are intensifying. Heavy bombardment in the past 24 hours and live pictures coming to us from beirut. A massive strike there late on thursday at the airport but it is not just beirut. It has been the valley in the east and southern lebanon as well. Do stay with us here on Bbc News. We will be live with Anna Buster in beirut for the latest from there. As we have been talking about, we have been showing you pictures as well, live pictures coming to us from lebanon and the attacks are really intensifying, the israeli strikes in southern lebanon. In particular plumes of smoke over the southern city. It is about 20 Kilometres North of the israeli border and these are pictures that we have got right now coming to us, as you can see, live from david. There is that strike last night. Quite near the
