Tel Aviv marks holiest Jewish day in shadow of war

Cities around Israel are quiet, with markets closed, flights stopped, and public transport halted as observant Jewish people fast and pray on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism.

It is the first time in decades that Israel observes the Day of Atonement while fighting wars on multiple fronts.

Despite the holy day, Israeli forces are continuing operations against Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza and Shiite Hezbollah in Lebanon.
