Israel has ravaged Gaza from north to south and wiped out almost everything of value to Hamas—nearly all of its known facilities, agents, associates, and aboveground assets. But the war is not over. In fact, Hamas has only just begun to get the war it really wants.

The Israel Defense Forces said it intercepted most of a barrage of rockets fired toward Tel Aviv by Iran-backed Hamas, as fighting escalated Monday after a year of war.

Israelis held somber ceremonies on Monday to mark a year since the Oct. 7 attacks that shattered its sense of security and ignited wars on at least two fronts with no end in sight.
