Monday is the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, and the subsequent war in Gaza.

And this one, about how Palestinians in Gaza honoured the memory of Israeli peace activist Vivian Silver, originally from Winnipeg, who was killed in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. An aid station in Gaza was named in her honour. (See photo above.)
