JERUSALEM/GAZA/SDEROT Oct 7 (Reuters) - Gunmen from the Palestinian group Hamas rampaged through Israeli towns on Saturday killing and capturing scores of civilians and soldiers in a surprise assault, met by Israel with massive retaliatory air strikes that killed scores in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said the assault that had begun in Gaza would spread to the West Bank and Jerusalem.
“This was the morning of defeat and humiliation upon our enemy, its soldiers and its settlers," he said in a speech. "What happened reveals the greatness of our preparation. What happened today reveals the weakness of the enemy."
In Sderot, in southern Israel near Gaza, bodies of Israeli civilians lay strewn across a highway, surrounded by broken glass. A woman and a man were sprawled out dead across the front seats of a car. A military vehicle drove past the bodies of another woman and a man in a pool of blood behind another car.
"I went out, I saw loads of bodies of terrorists, civilians, cars shot up. A sea of bodies, inside Sderot along the road, other places, loads of bodies," said Shlomi from Sderot.
Terrified Israelis, barricaded into safe rooms, recounted their plight by phone on live TV.
"They just came in again, please send help," a woman identified as Dorin told Israel's N12 News from Nir Oz, a kibbutz near Gaza. "My husband is holding the door closed ... They are firing rounds of bullets."

“Trump and his supporters included, especially since they are the main Americans supporting Russia, at all.”
I support Trump, but don’t care the least bit about Russia and Putin. I don’t think I am any different than the vast majority on this site.
The entire American people are fed up with throwing money at Ukraine and the money laundering that sends it back here, and weaponry that ends up all over the world. That doesn’t mean they are supporting Russia.
You are definitely deranged.
No it was from elsewhere..
I cannot agree more! Isreal will only be our enemy, if we do not support them now! F Ukraine, if we want to truely support freedom, pull funding away from Ukraine and put it into Isreal.
“As for homosexuals, that horse has left the barn. He can not do one thing about it”
One of the many “horses” that have left the barn at the hands of Joe Biden. In fact he has created a stampede and I don’t think there is any return to the barn.
"In other words, what are the accepted reasons for carrying a gun in Israel? The desire to a obtain a weapon for self-defense is not considered sufficient reason for obtaining a private firearms permit. In order to obtain the license, one must meet one of several criteria specified in the procedures. The criteria include those who live or work beyond the Green Line (the West Bank area or one of the few “communities entitled to weapons” within the Green Line), serve in the security forces (or the police, the Shin Bet, airport security, etc.) or who needs to carry a weapon in their line of work (a security guard, a tour guide, a certified farmer, an explosives carrier, a shooting instructor).
Most private weapons holders are entitled to carry a pistol and 50 bullets. Hunters, rodent exterminators, athletes in the field of shooting and veterinarians working in the field are entitled to receive a type of rifle appropriate to their profession, subject to the recommendation of the relevant authority."
“That guy is one sick hate filled puppy.”
Thanks, and looking at it, his posting history here is quite sketchy. Makes me wonder just what he’s doing here.
“And rebuild Jerusalem the Holy City speedily in our days.”
A line said in the Grace After Meals after every meal, and appears in a few other Jewish prayers.
Just like where US is now.
Biden put a Palestinian in charge of National Security. Also a TDS sufferer who aided in Trump’s impeachment. Perhaps start with him.
“How does an allegedly 1st world military, one with top shelf intelligence, get invaded by people on dirt bikes and Toyota pickup trucks while taking away Israeli hostages in golf carts!”
I think that question answers itself. For those in Rio Linda: It is obvious Israel does not have a 1st world military. Their intelligence didn’t pick up on the massive arms movements?
Good. T
his is not a situation where the people of Gaza abhor what is being done to Israelis. A few might but many shelter terrorists, support terrorism & celebrate Israeli deaths.
To paraphrase when the people learn to love their children more than they hate the Israelis who treat their sick and help with water & supplies in Gaza then there will be peace.
“Maybe that’s why they took hostages. Hoping Israel won’t strike back.”
The Israelis will make an effort to get around that...
Rub out the vermin in Gaza.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said the assault that had begun in Gaza would spread to the West Bank and Jerusalem.
WTF for? It’s nit like you can win.
Israel should disproportionately go Medieval on them
And if that doesn’t work, end it ala Juptha, Judge of Israel style...
Spreading venom and disinformation.
Again, what in the world are you talking about. Your definition of "NeverTrumper" is anyone who doesn't bow before Trump, even if we oppose him from our long established position on the far right, and see him as a phony liberal. We oppose that money to Iran as much or more than anyone. It was Biden who did it, who we opposed even more than Trump.
All you are doing is showing your obvious hate for anyone who questions Trump for any reason, whatsoever. That is clearly your number one, overriding, guiding priority. I doubt there's a single person at FR that wanted that money to go to Iran. You just want to twist it into a ridiculous reason to hate on anyone who has any concerns about Trump.
“And, that Russia has been recently meeting with Hamas, in Russia.”
Which do you think the terrorists would want more, six billion dollars or a meeting with Putin?
How is it that recent money has no bearing on the attack, but recent money does not?
Your “thinking out loud” could be very accurate, since Israel’s intelligence operation has no equal in the world.
