00:00Israeli forces intensified attacks on Lebanon and Gaza overnight, targeting Beirut and Gaza's

00:07Jabalia refugee camp.

00:11One year on from the October 7th attack, Israelis mark the solemn occasion with vigils and rallies.

00:20Nobel Prize in Medicine honors two Americans for discovery of micro RNA, a fundamental

00:25principle governing how gene activity is regulated.

00:37Israeli forces have intensified strikes on Beirut, hitting the southern suburbs of the

00:41Lebanese capital Sunday evening and overnight.

00:45Israel's military confirmed the strikes and sent about 130 projectiles that crossed from

00:50Lebanon into Israeli territory, with some intercepted.

00:54Videos shot on Monday show a massive crater at the site.

00:58It was not immediately clear if there were casualties.

01:02Israeli strikes in recent weeks have hit what the military says are thousands of military

01:07targets across large parts of Lebanon.

01:10Meanwhile, the Israeli military carried out intense bombardment on the Jabalia refugee

01:16camp in the north of Gaza on Monday morning, issuing new evacuation orders to people across

01:21northern Gaza.

01:23This follows multiple strikes and a new ground offensive launched on Sunday amid claims that

01:27Hamas was rebuilding its operational capabilities in the area, one year into Israel's massive

01:33military campaign on the enclave.

01:36The Israel Defense Forces said it carried out attacks on Hamas across Gaza as projectiles

01:41were fired from Gaza in the early hours of Monday.

01:45The year-long offensive against Hamas, one of the deadliest and most destructive in recent

01:50history, has killed at least 41,000 people and left much of the area in ruins.

01:55Rebuilding may take decades.

02:04Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu visited a monument in Jerusalem commemorating

02:10the victims and fallen soldiers of Hamas' October 7 attack.

02:15It comes as Israelis across the country mark a year since the brutal attack that kicked

02:21off the Israel-Hamas war.

02:23On this day, in this place, in many places in our country, we remember our fallen, our

02:31kidnapped, whom we are forced to bring back, our heroes who fell in defense of the homeland

02:39in Israel.

02:41We suffered a terrible massacre a year ago, and we rose up as a people, as heroes.

02:48Earlier in the day, over 350 people attended the site of the Nova Music Festival in southern

02:54Israel.

02:56They listened to the last song that rung out before hundreds of friends and family members

03:01were gunned down or taken hostage by Hamas.

03:07In Jerusalem, hundreds protested through the streets before rallying outside Netanyahu's

03:12home to mark the solemn anniversary.

03:16I want to promise all the 101 kidnapped in the name of all of us, all the people of Israel,

03:24that we will not stop fighting, we will not stop hearing their voices, we will not stop

03:31insisting on the most valuable, moral and fundamental thing, that they return home in

03:37peace as soon as possible.

03:41Hundreds of protesters then stood in silence, listening to a siren that played throughout

03:46the streets, marking another somber date in Israeli history, Holocaust Remembrance and

03:52Memorial Day.

03:58One year after the October 7 attack, which resulted in 1,200 people killed and 251 taken

04:05hostage, Israel's army chief has said that it has defeated the military wing of Hamas

04:10and continued to combat its terrorist capabilities.

04:14However, this claim about the Palestinian movement is not shared by analysts Euronews

04:19spoke to.

04:21So if, say, for example, we think it's lost 6,000 fighters, it also seems to be recruiting

04:26or, I should say, mobilizing about 6,000 members of its reserves, who are certainly not as

04:32well trained as the initial batch, but probably still able to hold a gun and fire rocket launchers

04:39at Israeli tanks.

04:41I think we can safely say that Hamas has been working to restore some of its damaged tunnels.

04:48A recent major blow to Hamas was the assassination of exiled political leader Ismail Haniyeh

04:54on July 31 while he was visiting Iran.

04:57Hamas then chose Yahya Sinwar, who masterminded the October 7 attacks, as his successor.

05:03Decisions are taken by consensus in the Shura Council.

05:06Of course, Yahya Sinwar would have a strong voice because of what happened on October

05:117 and the way he is regarded within Hamas and maybe outside Hamas as a strong leader

05:19and because he has Israeli hostages.

05:20That gives him a strong card.

05:23Sinwar is seen as a hardliner.

05:25The US and the EU consider Hamas a terrorist group, but the movement remains crucial to

05:30negotiating a ceasefire.

05:32Some Western countries could play a bigger mediating role, our analyst suggests.

05:40Countries like Norway, Switzerland can have talks with Hamas because they do not give

05:46them the political label of a terrorist organization.

05:48It's a political decision.

05:50And so the absence of channels, direct channels, is a problem because Hamas is, of course,

05:58a movement that fights the military occupation with violence.

06:03For a political solution of the conflict, the Palestinian Authority remains the main

06:08interlocutor.

06:09But even if Hamas is unlikely to govern Gaza, as it has done since 2007, analysts suggest

06:15it will still need to be included somehow.

06:18Let's be clear.

06:19Hamas is going nowhere, even having suffered as it has.

06:24It will always be able to, at the very least, oppose any outside intervention in Gaza, whether

06:33that is an Israeli intervention, as it is doing at the moment, or whether that is the

06:37intervention of the Palestinian Authority in the future or an international force.

06:43According to sources close to him, new Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has no regrets over the

06:49October 7 attacks and wants to create a Palestinian state by armed struggle.

06:58Kfar Aza, a kibbutz near Gaza, was devastated by the Hamas attack last October 7.

07:05More than 60 of the small community's residents were killed then.

07:08An entire street of young people were massacred, with 17 taken hostage.

07:13Shaharsh Norman and his wife survived the attack and returned to the kibbutz to continue

07:18their lives in the ghost town ahead of the attack's one year anniversary.

07:38Another kibbutz near Oz was also attacked.

07:42It was one of the hardest hit of the southern communities on October 7.

07:46117 out of its 400 residents were either killed or kidnapped.

07:51You can see it's a burning house.

07:53In the far away one, a couple was getting murdered, and in this one, a family of five

08:01is still alive.

08:03It's just a matter of Russian roulette in the end.

08:07Only a handful of the homes in the kibbutz were left untouched, with many of the remaining

08:12still carrying scars of the attack, like bullet holes or stained blood.

08:21It was both a show of strength and support for Matteo Salvini.

08:25On Sunday, leaders of political forces within the far-right nationalist Patriots for Europe

08:30group came to the League Party's annual gathering in Pantida to defend the Italian leader, who

08:35faces a potential jail sentence in a migration trial.

08:39The stood united on stage under the slogan, defending borders is not a crime.

08:51From the president of Portugal's Ossiega party to Austria's Freedom Party and Hungary's Prime

09:04Minister Viktor Orban, migration topped the agenda, along with the call for Europe to

09:09change its cause.

09:21Italians deserve honour and not criminal proceedings.

09:34Matteo Salvini is using this event to raise his profile and gain support after Italian

09:39prosecutors requested a six-year jail sentence for refusing to disembark 147 migrants when

09:46he was interim minister in 2019.

09:48Matteo Salvini launched a petition in his defence, which has garnered around 100,000

09:55signatures so far, with more expected to be collected today.

10:00Supporters who signed the petition were given a special membership card from the League

10:05Party.

10:19Whether or not Salvini's support for Patriots for Europe, the third largest group in the

10:34EU parliament, could distance him from ECR president and coalition partner Prime Minister

10:40Giorgio Meloni is too early to say.

10:43Giorgio Arlandi, for Euronews, in Pantida.

10:49The Nobel Prize in Medicine is awarded to two Americans, Viktor Ambrose and Gary Rufkin,

10:56for their discovery of microRNA, a fundamental principle governing how gene activity is regulated.

11:03Thomas Perelman, secretary of the Nobel Assembly, announced the award on Monday in Stockholm.

11:08According to the Assembly, their discovery is fundamentally important for how organisms

11:13develop and function.

11:14MicroRNA is a small molecule found in cells that helps regulate gene expression.

11:18It binds to messenger RNA to either block its translation into proteins or cause its

11:23breakdown, controlling which proteins are made in the cell.

11:27The rest of the 2024 prizes will be awarded throughout the week.

11:31The Nobel Prizes were created by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, who died in 1896,

11:36and it comes with a cash award of nearly one million euros.

11:40The Laureates will receive their awards at a ceremony on December 10,

11:43the anniversary of Nobel's death.
