Militants infiltrated areas of southern Israel as rocket barrages launched from the Gaza Strip struck the region on Saturday in an attack the Islamist movement Hamas is taking responsibility for.
A senior Hamas military commander, Mohammad Deif, announced the start of the operation in which he called on Palestinians everywhere to attack the Israelis.
"This is the day of the greatest battle end the last occupation on earth," he said in a broadcast on Hamas media, saying that 5,000 rockets had been launched.
In a video message early Saturday morning, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Citizens of Israel, we are at war — not in an operation, not in rounds — at war."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"Citizens of Israel,
We are at war, not in an operation or in rounds, but at war. This morning, Hamas launched a murderous surprise attack against the State of Israel and its citizens. We have been in this since the early morning hours. pic.twitter.com/C7YQUviItR— Prime Minister of Israel (@IsraeliPM) October 7, 2023
As we grow closer to the election and its seems thier days are numbered scorched earth will be put in motion to leave the new president and his administration a bag of sh##
Are they planning to invade the Gaza Strip? Next will probably be Hezbollah.
It is very bad, terrible atrocities, possibly start of WWIII total war. Prayers requested
time to get rid of the cockroaches
Seems like Israeli ( and western intel) failed to detect this massive and well-planned Hamas offensive. Israeli casualties will be very high…the attackers are ruthlessly hunting down and killing civilians, and taking captives. Atrocities have been videoed. Up to 7 settlements have been seized. Possibly thousands of rockets have been launched.
Israel is at war. No quote marks.
Early reports are blaming Iran for prepping Hamas for this day…thanks to the $6 Billion USD Biden paid them for 5 hostages. They prob are taking dozens of hostages because of their value.
Iran billions to reignite their crusade and a russkie nod to divert US resources from Ukraine.
you are consumed with hate.
Certainly could get serious, considering the volatility of the area. Psalms 120:7. “I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.” Check your freep mail.
as usual, you’re wrong
those attacking Israel are full of hate
You are correct sir. Deal with the cockroaches.
Even Iron Dome is having trouble keeping rockets out., and using parts losers to get terrorist into areas.
Paraglideers, I hate autocorrect.
Wonder if they bothered to wake Biden up? I fear Israel is on it own.
What’s saddest is that Israel was totally surprised by this. This had to be coordinated for months by various groups and countries and Israel was flat footed? Scary.
And you are an unabashed idiot.
Or, is this simply a by-product of taking their eye off the ball by focusing so much on the internal political strife with the court situation that hamas saw this as an opportune time to strike?
