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.

My theory is it was to derail the peace treaty between Israel and the Saudis.
Almost 40 years (and a lifetime) ago an Israeli friend told me that all business meetings started by attendees pulling their guns from their briefcases and putting them on the table before them.

While we have Biden nominally in charge we can be friend or ally to no one because we can’t be depended on as a friend. Money is sent to those who launder it and pass some back & some on to our enemies.
The traitors in our midst grow fat. While we wait for some miracle. After 9/11 Israel was our only true friend, the European nations said it was our fault. Now we should be standing with Israel as we would be if the election fraud had been rectified. Puck Fence.
I do keep a Bowie knife in the shower, a habit I developed a little over 30 years ago.
Beretta 1301 and enough 000 2 3/4 buck to discourage many.
I suspect the socialist’s withheld intel to allow an attack to occur so as to damage BiBi. And I don’t doubt our government was involved up to its arm pits.

With God As my Witness, should further harm come to her, I Pray The Fist of Justice strikes the entire muslim world, hard, repeatedly, with great fury and without mercy or discretion.
Similar violence coming to a neighborhood near you, courtesy of our open borders.
Apparently not, seeing how Hamas were going house to house murdering civilians with zero resistance.
I've read elsewhere only 2% of Israeli citizens own private firearms. It seems all the photos we see of young Israelis carrying machine guns out and about are actually IDF.
“...gunmen raiding door-to-door...”
I carry when at home, and I’m only concerned about coyotes.
No way. You’re following the wrong sources. Dozens a video of combat forgave pour in DAILY at Reddit and have since day 1 of the war.
