SDEROT, Israel, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Bloodied bodies in the streets, gunmen raiding door-to-door and news of captives taken to Gaza left Israelis terrified and in shock after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack that was unprecedented in audacity and scale.

A resident reported seeing multiple bodies and bullet-scarred vehicles in the southern Israeli town of Sderot where groups of Hamas gunmen were still fighting Israeli troops 12 hours after the attack was launched.

"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.

As night fell, at least 100 were reported dead and more than 1,000 wounded, according to Israeli media, with fighting still raging in more than 20 locations around the Gaza strip.

The assault, on the Jewish Sabbath and coinciding with the religious holiday of Simchat Torah, is unfolding as a major national trauma in a country proud of its strong military.

Not enough apparently too many liberals. Perhaps what they should do is issue weapons to all Jewish citizens and train them.

I’d get the shakes if I only had 50 rounds. I’ve got 200 rounds of 30-40 Krag in the garage, and nothing that shoots it.

Has anyone heard about casualties at the Hesher Yeshiva? One of the finest schools in the world?

Socialists in Israel have been doing to Bibi, what our commies have been doing to Trump.

Actually it is quite a bit harder to get a carry permit in Israel than most US states.

I know there is no logic to terrorist murderers, but what is their logic? I think the Israelis will have to slaughter them for this.

Israel needs to take Gaza and annex it. Then Israel needs to find some unexploded Hammas missiles. Then sometime in the future, aim that Hammas missile at the Dome on the Rock.
