The war started here, in the stillness of dawn,
in the towns and kibbutzim across southern Israel.
Hamas gunmen storming through these fields,
shaking this country to its core.
October 7th shattered Israel's security, its sense of self,
and it sparked what is now the longest, most grievous Gaza war.
It lit fires right across this region
and shocked the world into caring about this age-old conflict again.
In this special programme,
we'll return to October 7th and the months that followed
to see the cost of this war through Israeli and Palestinian eyes.
We start here, where a celebration turned into scenes of carnage.
This is the site of the Nova Music Festival,
and now it's a memorial to more than 370 people killed here
by Hamas and other fighters, more than 40 taken hostage.
Our first film takes us back to those first fateful hours,
as Saturday, October the 7th dawned.
And a warning - the images and stories are very distressing.

That pain is still raw, still deep.
These atrocities will remain seared in memory, in history...
..the largest loss of Israeli life in a single day.
Israel vowed to destroy those who brought this terror here.
Gaza is so close, you can see it on the horizon.
And what happened there since that day is also beyond compare.
Large parts of the coastal strip have been razed to the ground
and more than 32,000 people so far have been killed,
according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
Gaza is besieged.
The UN says most people are starving.
Our next report is through the eyes of paramedics
with the Palestinian Red Cross and Red Crescent Society.
It's another distressing eyewitness account
from the first weeks of the war.

Life and death in Gaza.
Israel is now accused of war crimes, even genocide.
It's even coming under criticism now from its staunchest of allies
about the way it's fighting this war.
It denies the charges, blaming Hamas for starting this war,
for putting Gazan civilians at risk for war crimes of its own.
The anger here has never been so sharp...
..leading many to ask,
how will Israelis and Palestinians ever find a way out?
On Israeli streets here in the heart of Tel Aviv,
fuelled rhythms of life have slowly returned, but it's not the same.
Everywhere you look, there are the posters, the photographs of hostages
and so many more Israeli flags.
Israelis say this is a different country now,
that October the 7th changed everything,
and so many are united and backing this war
until Israel declares victory.
But they're not united on every issue.
I'm not sure any more that the Palestinians and Israel
can live together in the near future.
If so, it will take a very long time
and...will demand a lot from both sides.
I believe that people want to live in peace,
and I think that the terrorists are the only one
who likes to go and fight.
But people in Gaza and people in Israel wants peace.
PROTESTERS SHOUT
The protests grow louder.
Even before this war, these streets filled with anger
against Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Now, they're demanding he do more to bring hostages home
and demand he step down.
They blame him for the massive security failure of October 7th.
The Prime Minister insists this war will bring hostages back,
bring security, break Hamas.
To end the violence, Israel must end its decades-long occupation.
That's what most Palestinians say.
This is the occupied West Bank,
the Palestinian territory about 60 miles from Gaza.
They feel Gaza's pain.
And their own hard lives are even harder now.
Israel has tightened the restrictions
and targeted people it says are terrorists.
Palestinians say hundreds of innocent people
are being killed in the West Bank, too.
We have just gotten used to so many deaths, so many wars over the years,
you just eventually get numb to it.
Like, every day, I hear, "Some people are dying.
"Some people are dying." At first, it used to get to me,
but now it's just more like...
It's something that I hear in passing,
and that is honestly devastating when you have to think about it.
I think everyone sees from their own point of view
and they will never see from the other side.
I mean, we can never see from the Israeli, like, point of view,
and they can never see from ours, so...
I mean, even to just settle it,
it's not even possible, I don't think.
In the very first weeks of this war,
Israel's best friends - the US and its allies -
suddenly started paying attention, not just to ending this war
but this forever conflict,
believing that it is in these darkest of times
that you can make a push for peace -
a Palestinian state alongside Israel,
a new Palestinian leadership,
a new relationship between Israel and Arab countries,
even Saudi Arabia,
a grand bargain to remake the Middle East.
Others say it's not the time,
that the kind of trauma so graphically portrayed
in those two films could take generations to heal.
And so for now, Israeli leaders say October 7th demands
that they focus on Israeli security, not peace.
