Israelis Mourn on the Anniversary of the Oct. 7 Attack as Palestinians Grapple with War It Sparked – WTOP News
Officials say more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began, while Israeli families mark the first anniversary with all hostages home.

- A contentious election in Israel just 20 days away hangs over the anniversary, reflecting deep divisions regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war and his reluctance to launch an official inquiry.
- Regional violence has escalated across the Middle East as Israel confronts Hezbollah and Iran, while the United States joined Israel in two rounds of attacks on Iranian military and nuclear targets, battering Iran and upending global markets.
