  • Story Text: Hundreds of Tunisian protesters clashed with security forces on Monday (October 7) during a protest supporting Palestinians as they marked the one-year anniversary of the Gaza war.
    Protesters launched fireworks and attempted to reach the French embassy in the capital, while police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
    Israelis marked the first anniversary of the Hamas attack, with ceremonies and protests on Monday, including a memorial event for victims of the Nova Music Festival where militants killed 364 people and kidnapped 44 partygoers and staff.
    In their shock rampage through Israeli towns and kibbutz villages near the Gaza border a year ago, Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli figures.
    The Hamas assault unleashed an Israeli offensive on Gaza that has largely flattened the densely populated enclave and killed almost 42,000 people, Palestinian health authorities say.
