5 things to know for Oct. 7: Middle East, Hurricane Milton, Presidential race, Frontier Airlines scare, Pope Francis

CNN’s 5 Things brings you the news you need to know every morning.

Look up tonight for a chance to see the Draconid meteor shower. It’s expected to peak at 11 p.m. ET and will likely be on the sparse side, with about 10 meteors at most streaking across the sky per hour. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. An emotional day of commemoration has begun in Israel to mark the first anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terror attacks. Thousands attended a vigil in Tel Aviv and hundreds of family members and friends gathered at the site of the Nova music festival in southern Israel to honor those killed and taken hostage that day. Many attendees at the memorials cried and comforted each other while recalling their loved ones’ final moments. The Hamas attacks killed 1,200 people and others are still held by the militant group. The assault also unleashed political disturbances thousands of miles away in the US. Israel’s ensuing war in Gaza has killed more than 41,000 people and triggered a humanitarian crisis, serving as a catalyst for a widening regional conflict. Less than two weeks after Helene made landfall, Florida residents are bracing for another major storm. Milton is expected to hit the Gulf Coast of Florida as a destructive and life-threatening Category 3 hurricane on Wednesday with 120 mph winds. It is forecast to strike between Cedar Key and Naples, which includes the Tampa area. And with very low vertical wind shear and incredibly warm sea-surface temperatures, Milton will be able to gain strength over the next few days. Parts of the state could see more than 15 inches of rainfall, according to the National Hurricane Center. Some of the same communities are dealing with the effects of Helene — which hit Florida’s Big Bend as a Category 4 hurricane and killed at least 232 people across the Southeast. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are ramping up campaign trail and media appearances this week in the race to Election Day, now less than a month away. Trump on Sunday told his supporters that it could be the “last election” if Democrats remain in the White House. Billionaire Elon Musk made similar claims at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. Harris made headlines with a sit-down interview released Sunday on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast where she dismissed attacks from Republicans over not having biological children. “It’s not the 1950s anymore,” Harris said in the interview. The Democratic presidential nominee also blasted Trump over abortion rights and for casting himself as a “protector” of women. Flames were visible underneath a Frontier flight as it made a “hard landing” at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on Saturday. Flight 1326 was arriving from San Diego and the plane was “in the process of landing” when smoke was reported in the cockpit and the pilots declared an emergency. The plane then “experienced a hard landing where basically tires blew,” airport officials told CNN. Firefighters responded immediately and 190 passengers and seven crew members were safely transported to the gate area, officials added. The National Transportation Safety Board and the airline are investigating the incident.
