Good morning. It's Tuesday. Thomas Morgan here with your AM NewsMail. 

Today marks two years since Hamas's October 7 attacks. As Israel marks the anniversary, our Middle East bureau looks at the "the rift in the nation" left by that day, as a bloody war continues in Gaza.

Also making headlines, how climate change is increasing the cost of insurance, and the novel way Australian communities may continue to be covered. Plus all the latest in federal politics and all you need to know about tonight's harvest supermoon!

"I feel if I sit down and chill, I'm going to sink in a hole." Yonatan Shamriz's daughter turned two the day Hamas militants overran his community, killing 62 people. He later lost his brother, who was mistakenly killed by Israeli forces after escaping Hamas capture. Two years after his life changed forever, he tells the ABC how he feels like a "refugee in my own country". 

Two years on from October 7, 2023, Yonatan is among many Israelis still coming to terms with how much Israeli society has shifted. Hamas militants killed about 1,200 people that day and took a further 250 hostage. More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in Israel's subsequent campaign.

On the anniversary of the attacks, the ABC's Middle East correspondent Matthew Doran looks at how Israelis are processing their trauma and reacting to growing disquiet over the war in Gaza. Some believe it will lead to a "reckoning", while others believe Israeli forces should keep going.

Also in the Middle East: New details are emerging about allegations made by Australian activists detained after attempting to breach Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. Reports prepared by Australian diplomatic staff in Israel include allegations that one Australian citizen was slapped and had his passport "destroyed", while some were forced to watch videos of Hamas's October 7 attacks.

Cost of the climate: Extreme weather events have cost Australians more each decade since 1980, even when adjusted for inflation, new data shows. And as climate-related disasters worsen, insurers and governments are looking at a novel insurance model that could allow communities to bounce back from disasters faster.

Global hotspot: And as the world races to adapt to a changing climate, new Australian researchers are confirming what many already suspect — major bushfire events are becoming more frequent, fatal and economically damaging. And they say one surprising part of Australia is at particular risk of fire disaster.

Spud shortage: Extreme weather has even disrupted South Australia's annual harvest of potatoes, with warnings that there could be limited supplies of the staple on Australian supermarket shelves. Mitolo Family Farms's John Tselekidis says it has been the toughest season in more than a decade, with other nearby properties also seeing weaker harvests.

• Emergency call: The chief executives of Australia's largest telcos are set to face a ministerial grilling as the government tries to deflect criticism over its handling of two Optus outages. Communications Minister Annika Wells says she is working to rebuild "shaken" confidence in Australia's triple-0 system.
• Minimum jail terms: The Coalition is manoeuvring to wedge Labor on mandatory sentencing for child abuse offences. Opposition Leader Sussan Ley is citing the case of a trans woman who abused their child as an example of a sentence the party believes is insufficient. 
• LISTEN: Could Andrew Hastie be the person to lead the Liberal Party back from electoral oblivion? Today on ABC News Daily, former Liberal strategist and pollster Tony Barry on Hastie's resignation from the front bench and whether he could be Australia's Nigel Farage
