Thursday marks 13 months since fighting between Israel and Hamas began NHK

Thursday marks 13 months since the October 7 attack on Israel by the Islamic group Hamas, which prompted Israel to launch a military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

No end to the fighting is in sight, as Israel is striking Shia Muslim group Hezbollah in Lebanon, while also battling Hamas in Gaza.

Palestinian media have reported that four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone strike in western Gaza City on Wednesday. Multiple people were wounded.

Health officials in Gaza said more than 43,000 people have died, and more than 100,000 have been injured.

According to the United Nations, at least 1.9 million people, or about 90 percent of the population across the Gaza Strip, are internally displaced.

Many have been displaced repeatedly, some 10 times or more.

The humanitarian crisis continues to deepen as talks for a ceasefire and release of Israeli hostages remain stalled.

Against this backdrop, Hezbollah on Wednesday announced it fired a barrage of rockets targeting an Israeli military base near the international airport in the country's largest business city of Tel Aviv.

Israeli media reported that one of the rockets landed near Ben Gurion Airport, but that it was "working normally."

In a televised speech on Wednesday, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem said, "We do not build an expectation of stopping the aggression through political action," vowing that the group will continue fighting.

A governor in eastern Lebanon on Wednesday reported that 30 people have been killed in 20 Israeli strikes throughout the day.

Concerns are on the rise that fighting will intensify, and the number of civilian deaths will rise.
