Today's Monday, October 7.
Here's what we're covering this morning.
Israelis are holding memorials and rallies to commemorate the 1200 people killed during the Hamas led attack one year ago today, just 3 miles from Gaza, mourners gathered at the site of what was the Nova music festival, where militants killed hundreds of festival goers and they played the last song that people heard that day before the attack began.
Then in Jerusalem, a group of families with loved ones still being held hostage in Gaza gathered just down from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus home, carrying pictures of their relatives.
More than 100 people are still believed to be held in Gaza, though many of them have died.
Some families have accused Netanyahu of not doing enough to free the hostages.
When the war began, Netanyahu set out two to bring the hostages home and to defeat Hamas.
But one year later, negotiations for a hostage deal and ceasefire have hit an impasse, and Israel's own military now says defeating Hamas is not possible.
Meanwhile, in Gaza, a year of airstrikes have made the territory unrecognizable.
More than 41,000 people have been killed by israeli forces, according to Gaza health officials, and nearly the entire population has been uprooted and displaced.
Israel stepped up its attacks in Gaza over the weekend, labeling most of the northern part of the territory an evacuation zone and sending residents scrambling once again, Israel also stepped up its attacks in Lebanon, and the whole region is still braced for Israel to fire back at Iran, underscoring how much the conflict has spread since the war began.
With less than a month to go until Election day, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are in an all out campaign blitz.
Trump spent the weekend in the battleground states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
