BREAKING: Hamas Fires 5,000 Rockets Into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel Declares 'State of War'
Red State ^ | October 7, 2023 | Bob Hoge

The militant group Hamas launched attacks on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv early Saturday morning, prompting the Israeli government to declare a "state of war."

The situation is chaotic:

In a statement posted on Telegram, Hamas called on 'the resistance fighters in the West Bank' as well as 'our Arab and Islamic nations' to join the battle.

Following the first attacks, Hamas commander Deif has urged Palestinians to engage in a civil uprising.

In remarks reported by CNN, he said: 'If you have a gun, get it out. This is the time to use it – get out with trucks, cars, axes. Today the best and most honorable history starts.'

'Today the people are regaining their revolution,' he said in other statements reported by AP, as he called on Palestinians from east Jerusalem to northern Israel to 'expel the occupiers and demolish the walls.'

Israel officials countered, with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant saying, "Hamas has made a big mistake this morning,' and that "Israel will win."

So, short answer...”no.”

Given the meeting with Putin, and the recent influx of cash to Iran, I’d wager that they were ready for something. An iron dome over Gaza doesn’t seem reasonable. Maybe they had to absorb a hit to justify opening a can of whoop-ass. I wouldn’t want to be the night watchman at any Iranian nuclear facilities.

Get in and get them now ..... before outside parties call for a ceasefire, which they always do when the Israelis are on the verge of total victory.

Gov and Magog are referenced as Russia and Iran in Revelations. These 2 countries or territories are singled out to be Israel’s destruction.

Can we get Joe to send Hammas the Squad and friends as reinforcements? Bobbi needs more consequential targets. We also need to embed our MSM with Hammas.
