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."

They have too many hostages in too many locations. I think most have been written off.
This one might be it.
Psalm 83?
Leading to Isaiah 17?
“You absolutely have free will, and you exercise it by deciding to support evil.”
Actually, I DO NOT support the Nazi-infested regime that is trying drive out some 5,000,000 Russian speakers from their homeland, but I suspect others here might.
It’s something else

FYI…..golden eagle has been a worthless neo-con POS for quite some time.
That's Switzerland. Israel has pretty strict gun control laws. It loosened up a bit on concealed carry a few years ago, but that's about it.
“FYI…..golden eagle has been a worthless neo-con POS for quite some time.”
Thanks, pretty obvious!
Right.
The Israelis will have to bite the bullet and use this 10/7 to cleanse the area of vermin.
All of it.
“They were building hang-gliders, delgating commands, planning multi-pronged attacks, distributing gear etc.
Nobody got wind? What absolute horseshit”
Their Mossad is as bad as our FBI
It’s a head-scratcher. I never thought it possible for this to happen against Israel. Definitely will be a lot of questions asked about this in due course.
It was so “outside the box” it wasn’t considered. Sort of like 911, where the tried and true methods of dealing with hijackers were of no use because the “rules” had changed and we didn’t know it.
The one-off is difficult to defend against.
If the Russians used a very large number of nukes, true. Otherwise, BS. That is just a variant of the “Putin is fighting Ukraine with one hand tied behind his back, God Bless Him for his restraint” lie, so beloved of Putin Fanbois.
Russia isn’t flying bombers over Ukrainian cities because it can’t. Russia isn’t firing swarms of big, dumb, rockets at Ukrainian cities every day, because it can’t. Russia isn’t firing a couple of dozen smart rockets at Ukrainian cities every day, because it can’t.
Every two or three week, Russia cobbles together a couple of dozen old, dumb, rockets, that have been tinkered with until they, most of ‘em, anyway, are a greater threat to Ukrainian civilians, than they are to the launch crews, adds to them a handful of newish rockets, and lets fly at electrical plants, apartment complexes, and whatever else lies at the end of their flight, because that is the best Russia can do.
“If the Russians used a very large number of nukes, true. Otherwise, BS.”
Maybe not leveled, but they’d be taking out DOZENS of fully occupied apartment buildings, killing hundreds at a time. Instead the occasional hits on civilian structures in Ukraine almost always end up being of Ukrainian origin (whether intentional or not, I won’t go there but it is not beyond the Neocons to do false flags).
It was inaccurate and deceptive the first time, didn’t need a repeat.

You don’t get any knowledge by watching TV you get propaganda & disinformation. To get information you need to use multiple internet sources and interrogate what you read for logic, consistency & for hidden fallacies.
These things have been going on there for years, there have been many pogroms against Jewish people in that area over the years, even before Israel became a state.
Apparently you are the sole arbiter of when Trump is right or wrong. When the other posters don’t agree with you they are just Trump sycophants.
Considering how often you are demonstrably wrong on the forum and that you admit getting your views and information from the fake news media your attempt to come off like the fount of knowledge is ludicrous.
