he told lyse doucet what the mood was like now in israel. took place a year ago, the greatest massacre ofjews on a single day since the holocaust, 1200 people murdered. and the fact that 251 were taken hostage, 101 of those people still being held in the gaza strip. and even when we think of that, the possibility, the prospect that it might even be more than 101. we know of the reports of sexual abuse, of rape, the fact that women are still there, a year has gone by. is it possible that one of them has given birth to a child? the pain is really immeasurable i think for the israeli people, whose hearts are pierced every single day, knowing that there are still people being held in some dark dungeon in a terrorist tunnel inside gaza. and the fact that we are still at war. i don't think anyone would have imagined a year ago that we would still be pretty much in the same place, yes, with some victories, yes, with some accomplishments, yes, with a change to the region, but this country is still at war, and that is a hard pill to swallow. as you k

our chief internerational correspondent, lyse doucet is in the city of haifa in northern israel.aifa... at least a dozen interceptions with rockets, there have been rockets fired by hezbollah several times this week. we think they were targeting a suburb of haifa. the air ride sirens didn't sound... but they did sound earlier... haifa, israel's's third largest city. these salvos against heart haifa are the first time it's been happening since 2006. it's a measure of how hezbollah is trying to set up its attacks into northern israel even as it comes under unprecedented pressure from the israeli military. there was also a salvo of rockets into the north which landed around these rear where president... prime minister netanyahu has a residents. so, a lot of frenetic activity here in the north at the moment. meanwhile as we've been reporting, israel has extended its operation in southern lord lebanon across the border. along the mediterranean coast... israel continues to assist it is a limited operation. earlier today i spoke to the founder of the israeli civilian defence forum and i
