Fear and alarm, panic and astonishment, hunger and thirst, loss of housing and displacement, mothers’ cries for help, children’s cries and the wholesale loss of loved ones, patience, hope and optimism.
These mixed feelings can be written by a journalist as he describes a specific situation in his story or report, but the one who can express them most is the one who has lived and is experiencing them for a year of fear and a year of systematic displacement and starvation. He is the Gazan who has been exposed to Israeli aggression for a year.
After the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation launched by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Hamas movement – on October 7 of last year, Israel launched a war of extermination against all those living on the land of Gaza under the pretext of eliminating the Palestinian resistance factions in the Strip, led by the Al-Qassam Brigades. .
But whoever follows the photos and videos documented by activists in Gaza finds that it is a war of extermination against a defenseless people who have been besieged for 17 years.
In this report, we monitor some of what the people of Gaza wrote about their suffering during a year of Israeli aggression and what their days were like with the continued Israeli killing tool.
We begin with a blog post written by Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent in the north, Anas Al-Sharif, in which he said, “A year has passed since we went out to cover the events and we have not returned yet! We have not returned to our homes, our families, our loved ones, and to the selves that we know! Since this frenzied war began, we have been in its furnace, burning us with the flames of its shells and tearing us away.” Our hearts are filled with pain of loss, fear, and anxiety! The massacres did not stop from the first moment, but rather their pace increased and their area expanded, affecting every area from northern to southern Gaza.”
It’s been a year since we went out to cover the events and we haven’t gone back yet!
We have not returned to our homes, our families, our loved ones, and the selves we know!
Since this frenzied war began, we have been in its furnace, burning us with the flames of its shells and tearing our hearts apart with the pain of loss, fear, and anxiety!

As for Tel Aviv Tribune Net correspondent Yusra Al-Aqlouk, she wrote a blog in which she said, “In colloquial terms… all we think is that we have taken our share of misery in this war and we begin to coexist with the oppressed and the few! Something will come that will take us back to square one! The occupation knows very well that the leaflet it throws out today after a year’s exhaustion is not the same as the leaflet that was He threw it last October, a year ago!”
In slang..
All we think is that we have suffered our share of misery in the war and we begin to coexist with the conquered and the few! Something will come that will take us back to zero!
The occupation knows very well that the leaflet it is throwing today, after spending a year, is not like the leaflet it threw last October, a year ago!

One of the people of Gaza wrote about his experience with hunger, saying: “I endured hunger for a whole year. Many months passed during which I only tasted canned food and some bread. I slept in the streets, in alleys, in hospitals, and I lost my home and everything I owned. However, I am ready to welcome a new year.” In the same way, but I will not leave northern Gaza.”
I endured hunger for a whole year. Many months passed during which I only tasted canned goods and some bread. I slept on the roads, in alleys, in hospitals, and I lost my home and everything I owned. However, I am ready to welcome a new year in the same condition, but not to leave northern Gaza.#Gaza#The7th_of_Akthwair pic.twitter.com/HQycF2cFiA

One of the Gazans said, “I tried to write a text out of my belief in the necessity of writing about the ongoing event, but in reality I could not write anything, and how could I write about a year that tore my heart apart like a worn-out rag, about loved ones whom I am afraid to remember are gone, and about others I can no longer even write about.” “Condolence them or ask them about their condition, and about the tens of thousands of martyrs and injured.”
Once again, after a full year of non-stop death, I put before your eyes a picture of the conditions in the northern Gaza Strip (the gateway to the ground operation since its beginning last October), specifically Jabalia, the Head of the Snake (as the enemy army called it at the beginning of the war). I describe to you the outcome of the Zionist-Arab conspiracy and the Islamic failure. And the popular silence…

Doctor Ezz El-Din wrote on the one-year anniversary of October 7, saying, “This anniversary calls for sadness and crying over the state of Gaza and the state of the issue, which is going through its most difficult moments, not celebration and rejoicing while the waterfall of blood is still flowing in the streets. I wonder how some people dare to sing and celebrate the October anniversary.” He did not provide any real support and assistance to the heroes of October.”
This anniversary calls for sadness and crying over the state of Gaza and the state of the issue, which is going through its most difficult moments, not celebration and rejoicing while the waterfall of blood is still flowing in the streets.
I wonder how some people dare to sing and celebrate the anniversary of October when they did not provide any real support or support to the heroes of October.

But how do the people of Gaza use social media platforms?
Blogger Yasser pointed out in his comment that for 365 days, Facebook has been a place for mourning martyrs and offering condolences only.
He concluded his tweet with the phrase, “This is what Israel did.”
