Palestinian militants in Gaza launched four missiles into Israel on Monday as mourners marked the anniversary of the October 7 attack, but the nearby memorial ceremony proceeded without incident. Hamas claimed to have attacked Israeli forces in several areas in Gaza. The Israeli military intercepted three of the missiles, while the fourth landed in an open area. There were no reports of casualties or damage. In response, Israel launched artillery and airstrikes against Hamas launch sites and militant infrastructure throughout the night, reported the Associated Press. 

According to the AP report, the events around this anniversary showed militants' perseverance in the face of the ongoing Israeli offensive, which has reportedly resulted in nearly 42,000 Palestinian deaths and major destruction in Gaza, displacing approximately 90 per cent of its people.
