Two AP journalists in Ukraine and the Mideast break down the wars they covered in 2024
Associated PressFor the world, 2024 was riven by — and in some ways defined by — conflict on two fronts. The ripples after the previous year’s Hamas attacks in Israel left Gaza a shambles and tens of thousands dead, and an adjacent conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is playing out across the Lebanon landscape as the year ends. They said, “Oh, Hamas is a walk in the park compared to what we’re going to deal with Hezbollah.” And people were really dreading that second front opening up. So for them to get investment this time on that the scale that’s needed, there are going to have to be some big changes in the way people think. Even if Israel succeeds in dismantling Hamas, if all of these hostages that are alive get out, who knows what sort of trauma they are facing and future they’re going to have?
