Israel is marking one years since the Oct. 7 atrocities committed by Hamas militants as the current conflict continues to rage in Gaza and Lebanon.
Israeli forces are on high alert for attacks ahead of the grim anniversary of Iranian-backed militant group Hamas' unprecedented massacre one year ago. Palestinian militants in Gaza fired four rockets into Israel early on Monday morning as mourners marked the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack, although The Associated Press reported the incident did not disrupt a nearby ceremony in south Israel.
According to the Israeli military, three of the rockets were intercepted, while a fourth landed in an open area. No casualties or damage were reported. Exactly 12 months ago, Hamas-led militants launched a deadly surprise attack, breaching Israel's security fence and targeting nearby military bases and farming communities. The assault resulted in the deaths of about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and the abduction of 250 others.
