Were standing by to see a commemoration from Vice PresidentKamala Harris Tapper and were going to start in israel. Its been one year since the October 7 massacre, the single deadliest day for jews since the holocaust, 1,200 israelis were ambushed and murdered by hamas terrorists. We heard horrifying accounts of rape and torture, 250 additional individuals were taken captive, including babies, roughly 100 hamas hostages remain unaccounted for today, families of hostages held signs with the faces of their Loved Ones they stood outside the home of prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu listen to former hostage aviva siegel, speak about her husband who remains in captivity not it is going to come home like a skeleton. But im just so badly.

A reminder of the ongoing horror. This war that continues and is intensifying on multiple fronts as israel seeks to wipe out Terrorist Threats posed by iranian proxy groups surrounding them 12 months on more than 41,000 people have been killed in gaza according to the hamasrun health ministry, which does not distinguish between innocent civilian deaths and those of hamas terrorists. Remember, gaza officials do not distinguish between those two during his recent speech at the united Nations Netanyahu said israel has killed more or captured more than half of hamass 40,000 fighters. Now Israels Military has also started a new offensive in Northern Gaza where they think hamas is attempting to regroup to the north of israel, israel is attempting to dismantle hezbollah also considered a Terrorist Group by the u. S. Government. Hundreds in lebanon have already been killed the according to lebanese officials who also do not distinguish between the innocence civilians who have been killed and the members of hezbollah strikes taking similar Scenes Today from cnn affiliates.

We, must, uphold the commitment to repair the world an idea that has been passed on throughout generations of the jewish people and across many faiths and to that end, we must work to relieve the immense suffering of innocent palestinians in gaza who have experienced so much Pain And Loss over the year what is asked of us, we must continue to see light amidst The Darkness as the late Rabbi Jonathan sachs said a people that can walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

Thank you. Thats a Vice President , Kamala Harris and second gentleman, doug emhoff, Planting APomegranate Tree. I believe that they are at the naval observatory where the Vice President s residence is in washington, dc. Lets bring in Cnns Erin Burnett and Nic Robertson in tel aviv. Erin, obviously a notable moment for israel as well as for the united states. What is it like on the ground there in israel . What are you hearing from israelis . Days, of course, you know, weve been up on the front lines where you have the troops, you know, raring to go and ready to fight and you dont sense fatigue, you sense that they are ready for another front. They are ready to win. But here today, joe, jake just incredibly somber and i know nic, well talk about being at the negev desert, at the Nova Music Festival site today. But, but tears and sadness. And i think also important in the context of talking about loss, obviously the profound loss for israelis, the profoundly boss over the past year, so many, Tens Of Thousands who have been killed. But right now at this moment, as we speak in The Darkness, suffering in those tunnels, their hostages alive. Theres still hostages alive, 97 when people taken one year ago today. A third to a half of them may be dead. Others are alive, their families here just miles away from them so close and yet they may never see them again. And they may, they may, they may already be dead, they may die as this conflict continues and that is the deep, profound sadness of this moment, jake, but certainly both nyc and i saw two day and nic, america as connection to this war can, Cannot BeCannot Be ignored. I mean, a number of those slaughtered on October 7, where american and number of those taken hostage, including still todays six living sixth hostages thought to be living as well as the bodies of still others are being held in gaza. What stuck out to you from the Vice President s remarks . You know, i think there was some echoes in there of what weve heard us say before, that sort of slightly differentiates her position where President Biden and its in the past when she spoke about this, you know, that Iron Clad support for israel. But talking referencing really the other side and saying that, you know, its how you use that support and what struck me, what she said today was about this issue of what can we do what can we do for the other side was massive so it sounds like the sirens going off, sirens are going down jake. What can we do for the other side . She said, what can we do . And it was ease the Suffering And Pain of the palestinians. And she talked about seeing the light in the dark and its not just perhaps a reference to the Terror Tunnels that a light in The Darkness, which is an end to all of their. So i got that sense that she was talking about reaching out via the side. That was that message of maybe some reconciliation . Yes. And, you know, jake, you can hear obviously, sirens probably in the background where we are. This would be the third time and today weve heard them even in tel aviv, you know, you sort of, you can see just a blanketing of the area of warnings that were incoming Ballistic Missiles. I said from yemen earlier those were intercepted drones. And drones. Nick and i have seen seen those just off the coast. I when there has been interceptions, obviously, right now, this is just where we are and what well see there. There. Lets go yeah, Thats Industry interceptors are going up. I dont know if You Guys can see those those interceptors going up right now behind one to different areas, three these, little night, the high altitude for Ballistic Missiles, these these outline, theres not a Nurse David davids sling, Ballistic Missile so these could be Ballistic Missiles incoming if theyre on the north of the city. That tells us that probably coming in from lebanon from for what we can see from here right now i think i heard some intercepts there, some explore, heard some explosions, but i didnt see anything looked like it had contact. Its hard to tell right now. Jake honestly, from what we see, but at least for interceptors going up yeah, its a good reminder, maybe a sound of a Fighter Jet and ill point. I tried to make and i know that You Guys make all the time, which is oh, he would just heard a big Boom Israel remains under attack, that was from gaza from lebanon, from yemen. Its not that theyre not trying to kill as many israelis in Civilian Population centers as they can. Its just that the israeli interceptors are preventing them from doing so i mean, those interceptors and those booms, jake, that youre hearing, we presume were intercepts of what those missiles were and earlier today was another intercepts. So they arent intercepting them and they are these. Nick was saying, look like davids sling interceptors for more Ballistic Missiles, but also earlier today, a Ballistic Missile they said perhaps from yemen. Yeah. So i mean the capital here being attacked on, on two sides today, as you said, the interceptors what saves the population, doesnt say them obviously from running for shelters we heard the sirens there and you can be sure that everyone in this city in anyone who might have been out at a, at a gathering to remember October 7, that you have to understand that the reason that hamas fired five of their longer range Missiles Today out of gaza, reaching into, reaching close to tel aviv, the reason the houthis that it from yemen, the reason it appears hezbollah has done it from the north is because its October 7 and this is them signaling. Yes. And also there was a palpable feeling. Jake and there is a palpable feeling of israel needs to strike and strike hard and strike harder. Im not saying its universal, but its palpable and you hear it from individuals. You hear it from its not just a military three of it says that. There was a feeling from them that perhaps that strike from israel could happen tonight certainly a worry in iran when they had had, you know, temporary noflyzone, they reopened their airspace, but that and keeping it this high, the pressure at some point its got to break and theyre waiting for that next strike. And i think as well thats sort of to what the Vice President was saying. Kamala harris, that this idea about thinking about the other side, because i found speaking to People Today there are very much locked in their own tragedies some their own pain and the own suffering. And because theyre feeling their own so much, they can feel the other side and of course thats where a reconciliation lives, right and empathy that is, that of course theres so little of with so much pain everywhere, jake all right. Nic. Thanks so much in aaron, well see you tonight Erin Burnett outfront. Thats at 7 00 p. M. Eastern only here on cnn, erin will be live from tel aviv.
