Global National: Oct. 28

WARNING: You may find some of the images in our coverage disturbing. The recent infrastructure wipeout in Gaza has left the lines of communication and internet completely cut off, and as a result aid has been slow to reach affected areas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, has refused to take responsibility for intelligence failures leading up to the Oct. 7 attacks. Meanwhile, fears are mounting over the safety of Israelis taken hostage by Hamas. Plus, rallies were held across Canada on Saturday to condemn the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. Protesters are demanding an end to the bombardment and accusing the U.S. and Canada of ignoring the situation. This, as separate events were held to highlight the plight of the 200 kidnapped Israelis. Meanwhile, the search for the suspected gunman in the mass shooting in Maine has ended. But police are still searching for answers about what motivated the rampage that left 18 people dead and 13 injured. The shooting has conjured bad memories in Nova Scotia this week. The message those who survived the April 202 massacre have for those who survived this latest tragedy. And finally, with more than 200 hostages still unaccounted for and Palestinian losses piling up, many Jewish and Muslim Canadians are not only grieving but are feeling tensions increase in this country as well. We take a closer look at the rising reports of antisemitism and islamophobia.
