Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to bring back all the hostages still held by Hamas, as the war in Gaza hits the one-year mark. Tens of thousands of Israeli and Palestinian lives have been lost in the past 12 months. The goals of an eventual deal remain unchanged: End the fighting, bring hostages home and stop the killing of civilians. Israel has held multiple events across the country to mark the day. A year of constant bombardments has killed 42,000 people and damaged or destroyed nearly 60% of buildings in Gaza. Trent Murray reports from Tel Aviv.
