Israelis mark 6 months since Hamas’ attacks in the south of the country

Hamas’ deadly attacks on southern Israel on Oct. 7 left about 1,200 people dead and many taken as hostages. Some of those hostages were released after negotiations with Hamas last November. Most of the world first saw the terrifying videos and images from a music festival where hundreds had gathered for the weekend. Host Marco Werman traveled to the Nova festival site and two other areas where Hamas struck. He recaps the events of that day and how people who bore the brunt feel today.
