******* steps up ******** as Gazans mark year of war

******* has stepped up its air and ground offensive in Gaza with more attacks on ****** militants and command posts as both sides marked the first anniversary of a war that has destroyed much of the territory and changed Palestinians’ lives forever.

For its part, ****** said it struck *******’s commercial capital Tel Aviv with a missile salvo on Monday, setting off sirens in central *******.

Two people were lightly injured, according to the ******** ambulance service.

The rocket volley signalled ******’s enduring ability to hit back despite a protracted ******** military onslaught aimed at destroying its combat capabilities, a year after the shock cross-border ****** incursion into ******* that kindled the war.

******’s smaller ally Islamic ****** said it hit Sderot, Nir Am and other ******** towns near Gaza with rockets.

The ******** military said it intercepted five rockets fired from Gaza.

******-led militants stormed through ******** towns and kibbutz villages near the border on October 7, 2023, ******** 1200 people and taking about 250 as hostages, according to ******** tallies.

*******’s subsequent military campaign in Gaza has ******* nearly 42,000 Palestinians, according to the small coastal enclave’s health ministry, displaced nearly the entire 2.3 million population, and caused a hunger and health crisis.

On Monday, ******** tanks advanced into Jabalia, the largest of Gaza Strip’s eight historical urban ******** camps, after encircling it, residents said.

Soon after the rocket volley, the ******** military expanded evacuation orders in Jabalia to cover areas in the northern towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya.

Residents said ******** forces pounded Jabalia from the air and the ground, and medics said several Palestinians had been *******.

The ******** military said it ******* dozens of militants and dismantled military infrastructure in Jabalia, saying the operation would continue to prevent ****** regrouping.

In the central city of Deir Al-Balah, where a million displaced people are sheltering, an ******** air strike hit tents inside Al-Aqsa Hospital, wounding 11 people, ************ medics said.

The ******** military said it struck at ****** militants operating from a command centre embedded inside the hospital.

Monday was the first anniversary of the October 7 ****** *******, which has given rise to a multi-front conflict across the Middle East as ******* sharply escalates its campaign against the Iranian-backed militant movement Hezbollah in Lebanon.

US-backed ***** mediators Qatar and Egypt have been unable to broker a Gaza ceasefire that could also help defuse the Lebanon hostilities and see the release of hostages held in Gaza as well as many Palestinians jailed by *******.

******* and ****** each accuse the other of adding conditions that are impossible to meet.

****** wants a deal that ends the war and gets ******** forces out of Gaza, while ******** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed the war can end only with the eradication of ******.
