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."

Send what’s left of our income to ukraine. That should fix things.
That money was obviously a mistake, but it was only released less than a month ago. If the reporting is true that 5,000 missiles were launched into Israel, that's an operation that's been underway for at least a full year.
“What in the world are you talking about? Who you call NeverTrumpers are often good, Christian conservatives, that are definitely on the side of Israel.”
Not based on their posts here this morning. They look at this attack as another opportunity to attack Trump, particularly his relationship with Putin.
We’re fighting Russia, now we’re fighting Hammas, soon China and then cartel and gang action on US soil. Can America and Israel survive?
The same way the United States does. Enemies within. Sloth. Lethargy.
To be consistent FRuZZians need to blame Israel and the US for this Terror Attack while demanding Israel surrender.
Women are just slaves to those people.
It’s past time to delete Mecca from existence.
Do I have to guess Rashida Tlaib, AOC and Ilhan Omar are celebrating?
You don’t have to be a “NeverTrumper” to question Trump’s relationship with Putin. Nor to question Russia’s relationship with Hamas. Both are wide out in the open, and questionable by any historical standards of supporting Anglo/Western nations.
And again, it just shows these people you are trying to smear with a pejorative name, are actually on the side of Israel. Not against them, as you claimed.
What happened today reveals the breadth of the cabal. Knowing the current state of the HoR, and the likelihood the fire hose of money to Ukraine will stop, they have engineered a new war-front where both parties will eagerly redirect unlimited cash and weapons.
Every Israeli should be required to keep an army rifle at home and should be allowed to carry concealed in public.
Announcement. On December 6, 2017, President Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and stated that the American embassy would be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Nevertrumpers are the wet weasels of acquiescing.
Just 3 years ago, peace everywhere ... but, mean tweets !
Financed in part by your tax dollars.
I hope the Israeli army grinds these monsters into fertilizer. The Muslims monsters even took hostages. Treacherous filthy race of degenerates.
ugh
It’s my understanding that the attacks were carried out by Hamas.
They are Sunni, whereas Iran & Hezbollah are Shia.
I thought they hate each other almost as much as they hate Jews.
