Seventh person with connections to Canada killed in Israel-Hamas hostilities, two still missing, Global Affairs says
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - OCTOBER 23: People visit a memorial set up around Dizengoff square on October 23, 2023 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The makeshift candlelight memorial has been ongoing since the start of the war. As Israel remains poised to invade the Gaza Strip in its campaign to vanquish Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a deadly attack in southern Israel on October 7, worries are growing of a wider war with multiple fronts, including at the country's northern border with Lebanon. Countries have scrambled to evacuate their citizens from Israel, and Israel has begun relocating some residents to communities on its northern border. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of residents of northern Gaza have fled to the southern part of the territory, following Israel's vow to launch a ground invasion. (Photo by Alexi J.
