Israeli PM declares 'we are at war' after at least 22 killed in surprise Hamas attack - with fighters on paragliders crossing border

At least 22 people have been killed and hundreds more wounded after thousands of rockets were fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip in a surprise attack by the Hamas militant group.

Large plumes of black smoke could be seen rising from a number of Israeli towns on Saturday morning.

Palestine's President Mahmoud Abbas said the Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves against the "terror of settlers and occupation of troops".

545 Israelis have been wounded, Israel's health ministry said.

This, combined with the number of fatalities so far, make the attack the deadliest in Israeli territory in years.

Social media images showed cars on fire and damaged buildings

Phone footage also showed Hamas fighters attempting to reach Israel on small boats, and in a highly unusual development, a number of fighters appeared to have crossed the border using paragliders, reaching the town of Sderot where gun battles were heard.

Footage from security cameras showed them entering the city in pick-up trucks and motorbikes.

“Tell your Putin to stop funding Hamas and the so-called “Palestinians”.”

The US gives that bunch FAR MORE than Russia does. It was part of the ‘peace deal’ signed by your buddies.

Where is the un decrying the “human rights violations” by the palis? Typically silent i see. They will only spring into action blaming Israel for vio.ations when Israel defends herself

Seems to me that UKRAINE more likely funded, if not supplied arms, for this operation, as they’re the one’s pissed at Israel.

There is literally NO EVIDENCE that Russia had anything to do with it.

Is it possible that Hamas could destroy the mosque and blame the Israelis?

“Putin and Iran have armed Hamas for years.”

So did the US, at least regarding arming the ‘Palestinian Authority’.

Have you forgotten that Biden gave $6 billion a few weeks ago to Iran?

Hmm. Wouldn’t be the Bible, would it? 😀😁

That’s peculiar, those are all comments this demonic administration has stated. Every single one of them.

You’re a propagandist - it’s obvious.

I feel sorry for you, being aligned with them.

From July, 2022:

“ President Biden will also announce new contributions totaling $316 million to support the Palestinian people. This is on top of the more than half a billion dollars the United States has provided to the Palestinian people since the Biden Administration restored much needed funding to the Palestinians.”
