Ten wounded in Hezbollah strikes in northern Israel Ten people have been injured by missiles fired from Lebanon in the northern Israeli cities of Haifa and Tiberias overnight, according to MDA (Israel's ambulance service).

Several of the injured suffered wounds from shrapnel, glass and window debris, the MDA adds.

The missiles hit a restaurant, a house and a main road, the Israeli military says, adding that it's investigating how Hezbollah-fired missiles were able to break through Israel's air defence systems.

Hezbollah says it was targeting military facilities.

Candlelight vigils to remember those killed on 7 October Candlelight vigils and memorials were held in London, Paris, Berlin and Geneva on Sunday evening to remember the 1,200 killed a year ago when Hamas gunmen stormed into Israel.

In Tel Aviv, friends and relatives of those killed at the Nova dance festival held their own vigil.

Later on Monday, there will be an official ceremony in Jerusalem. President Isaac Herzog will lead a memorial at daybreak in Sderot, the closest Israeli city to Gaza, to mark the moment it came under attack 12 months ago.

Since the 7 October attacks, more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, most of them civilians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Israeli strikes in Beirut trigger huge explosions ahead of 7 October anniversaryNathan Williams Live page editor

Powerful explosions were seen in Beirut as Israel carried out more strikes on southern districts of the city overnight.

Israel's military says it hit weapons storage facilities belonging to Hezbollah setting off secondary explosions.

Meanwhile, Israeli officials are investigating how five rockets fired from southern Lebanon on Sunday night managed to penetrate Israel's air defences and explode in the port city of Haifa, injuring several people.

And Iranian authorities have announced the resumption of air traffic after flights at some airports were cancelled, state media reported, amid Israel's warnings that it will retaliate for Tehran's missile attack on Tuesday.

All this comes as the world begins to mark the anniversary of the 7 October attacks by Hamas, when gunmen stormed into Israel killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage. Since then, nearly 42,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hams-run health authority.
