One year after the October 7 attacks, war continues to rage between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Despite efforts to reach a diplomatic solution, the fighting has now expanded into neighbouring Lebanon. FRANCE 24 looks back on the timeline of this unprecedented escalation in the Middle East.
The fighting began one year ago today. On October 7, Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, leading to at least 1,189 deaths and the abduction of 251 people, including 44 seized from the Nova trance music festival and at least 74 from the Kibbutz Nir Oz community, according to Israeli figures.
