david levitz welcome to the program. israel has marked one year to the day since the homeless lead terror attacks, which sparts the war and gaza. a year ago on october. the 7th is rarely sense of security was shattered by the killings of more than 1200 people as militants from guys. it took hundreds more captive hours later. israel began bombing the gaza strip and what has become a devastating war for palestinians. on the as rarely side families of the victims, organized memorials in honor of those killed and taken hostage painful pilgrimage to the sight of a terror attack. the families gather to pay tribute to their loved ones, were killed by him oss at the supernova, music festival. near the border with gauze, they listened to the last track that was played before the music stopped abruptly.

morning as a community drawing strand from one another. but my own thing in this place is important to be with all the other families. a year later, the feet of many hostages, taken on that day, remains unknown. from us, took over 250 hostages. 97 of them are unaccounted for. close to 60 of them are believed to still be held in gaza. forced to live in tunnels, under bombardment, for 365 days. the war around them is only grown, leaving their families restless. the others you will be coming home. again we have the luggage near by his mother. the luggage doesn't seem to connect

his perfume floating whenever we'd be back home, we were speaking in jerusalem. israel's government health a moment of silence to mark the anniversary. critics say the fighting, they fled on multiple friends has failed to bring back the hostages or safe guard. the security of his release tel aviv demonstrators formed a human chain, calling for the return of the hostages ahead of the ceremony to come memory, duke toby's 7 attack. people were seen ducking for cover as a rocket flew overhead. families of victims stage the memorial as an alternative to a prerecorded ceremony held by the government made a move to the government. i say look,

this is how it's supposed to look. it's not about you. it's not about the government you failed. it's about defending these long calls for ceasefire. echo within israel. there's no signs of an eminent peace deal in the united states pro israel and pro palestinian protesters are marketing the anniversary of the october 7th attacks and the beginning of the war and gaza at new york's columbia university. thousands of people from both sides marched the campus was the site of mass protests against the israel. hum us were earlier this year and touched off a wave of college demonstrations across the us. let's cross over to our correspondent abraham. this is at columbia university in new york, a. what of protestors they have been telling you well,

you certainly can see it right now david, but this was a much, much for campus this morning that maybe you can hear some of the workers behind the dismantling. some of the parent barricades at the university has put up to make sure that the 2 groups of protesters were at a safe distance from each other. i had a chance to speak to both the pro palestinian students here on campus. and also those were commemorating the october 7th attack on israel. on the palestinian side, i would say there was a lot of fear among the students also fear from the media. it was actually quite a challenge to get somebody to speak to us on the record and give us their name because there is that impression that their narrative and their story is twisted in mainstream media. they also had a lot of severe from docs and from being identified. and then uh, you know, being either disappoint leader by the university. or you know, that this could affect their career chances because they're associated with the posting and cause of course, as you mentioned last year, columbia was the, at the center of us campus process. and there had been

a rush for students had been arrested and some were suspended and put on probation under the israel pro israel side. i mean, there is, of course, a lot of warning, a lot of devastation. what is the state brought to many of their loved ones and their families in israel. but there's also, of course, a lot of disappointment, incident hostility towards their pro palestinian classmates that you know, for what they perceive. one student told me, for example, that you know, his claims that his fellow student support, quote, terrorism. and so there's no way to divide between students here on this day, at least on other days, on campus. we can't really see it, but today it was very, very, i pronounce one students that i met a just and the one behind me who was protesting. and i'm reading the october 7th. the tech said, you know,

we live in different worlds. really divided there. and those weren't the only protests in the us. let's zoom out a little bit. could protests like these have an impact on the us elections, which are just less than a month away. well, you know, based campus protests are spread out across the country. students, you know, on a specific campus don't typically come from that particular state or if they're not all from that particular state or that particular city. however, the debate around anti semitism and you know, anti palestinian rhetoric on college campuses has certainly sort of taken a life of its own in american political rhetoric. and we've seen, you know, a former candidate, joe biden. and also the republican nominee. donald trump both sort of address this issue and try to spin the story in the way that would be appealing to their basis. so certainly, you know, i don't think it's going to really, you know, given the size of the purchase that we seen today,

necessarily turn into what we've seen last year. but certainly what we've seen last year did have massive, massive to take a massive space in american political discourse with, you know, the candidates wing and on the issue themselves. so remains to be seen if that that's something that we're going to see return with these protest w as a version. they're in new york things a while last year's terror attacks also re ignited the conflict between israel and another. iran back to militant group has the law and webinar. the group is now struck israel's 3rd largest city, high 5 with rockets, israel, meanwhile, as carried out a new round of air strikes on lebanon near the airport in bay roots, which is now operating with limited capacity, is rarely army says it targeted a southern bayard suburb with the call that has the last strong hold, as well, has expanded its operations against has been recent weeks. launching daily air strikes and sending ground troops and so southern lebanon. let's bring an

asher couse man, a professor of history and peace studies at the university of notre dame and the us after the israeli army is warned, it will soon target 11 on southern coast. it's also declared several areas in northern israel, close military zones. what are their plans? it seems to be an expansion. continue the continued the extension of the, the campaign, the ground complained that these well has been engaged in now for a few days. so what's talking to is a limit to the ground. the operation is clearly expending and you see the thoughts of the perspective of the greater deployment. also community resources inside these are the drafts of the reserve units that are increasing. so all of that

signals, the ease with continued the and the growing, the ground, the invasion that you're an expert on the border dynamics between the lab and on, and israel, where do you see this escalation leading? when i what, what do we actually see that on the one hand, these well as clearly we can see the by the significantly but on the other hand, cuz he's about lies still showing signs of the military capacity. so it's engagement on the ground with these why the policies, but also to heat, continue the use of to show up and meet the rockets finally get into is was so unfortunately it's hard for me to see the escalation happening right now. as a result of the both equally military capacity here actions and actually the, by the insistence that he would continue with the resistance to easel as the

military actions. right, we're saying is rarely air strikes on lebanon. on the one hand, hezbollah has also still been firing rockets on israel. they've been firing rockets on israel for a year. now they're still edits of how strong is hezbollah still at this point? i mean, there is no question that sees bella has been significantly eh, we can, i mean, all our on this, the patients with that, by now. he's a by the bombard the 10 of the even of this, but teach excites and these were we did say, and long to me, silas and more accurate me so, but this has not happened likely because it is not able to not because it is not it does not want to and he's why this quest. all right, alliance calls, he's about including the assessing nation of the talk lead to us on a. so i love what we don't see to about as a able to respond in kind to either way. but still we say hey,

if he's by the they want straight in the, it's a to be $92.00 and engage as well. i'm really tired of the, on the ground and we the resistance in southern level. and also we need say is sholtes and me time that rocket. so he's why is that plans are these wireless probations to allow these a alteration to bring back pizza and know the population back home is clearly not happening. and i don't see that actually happening before some police because the arrangement to come, i think arrangement that takes place ostrich housman from the university of notre dame and indiana in the united states. thank you for your insights. thank you for having me. let's take a look now. it's some other stories making headlines around the world. the anniversary of the terror attacks in israel was marked in the us by the 2 main presidential candidates. democrats comma la harris planted
