Middle East Conflict | SA continues call for peace as Israel marks first anniversary of Oct 7 attack

Hamas' armed wing says it has attacked Tel Aviv with missile salvo. This comes as Israelis across the country blared sirens and took a minute to stand in silence, to mark the beginning of a Hamas-led attack on Israeli border communities a year ago. Some 1 200 Israelis were killed in the attack on Oct. 7, 2023 and 250 others were taken hostage. A year on, 101 hostages are still held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Over 40 000 Palestinians have been killed in the year-long conflict. For more news, visit sabcnews.com and #SABCNews on all Social Media platforms.
