Hamas invaders snatch young and old off the street and take them hostage as war with Israel takes chilling new turn and death toll nears 400

Hamas gunmen appear to be snatching hostages off the streets of Israel after crossing into the territory on Saturday as the war takes a darker turn and the death toll approaches 400 after less than one day.

Horrifying new footage emerging this afternoon showed women being marched into vehicles full of male fighters, bloodied and bruised, often with their hands bound behind their backs.

Earlier pictures showed Israeli pensioners captured in Israel and taken into the Gaza Strip on golf carts. Other clips showed entire families forced into trucks and being driven off by militants.

At least 200 people have died and 1,100 wounded in the conflict in Israel alone, and it's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced his country is 'at war' with the Palestinians militants.

Meanwhile Hamas has called for Arab and Islamic nations to join its attack, and has seen 198 people die in the Gaza Strip with another 1,610 wounded amid Israel's retaliation.

The UN has announced an emergency Security Council meeting to be held tomorrow.

Thomas Helm, Jerusalem Correspondent at The National spoke to MailOnline from Jerusalem today. He said the hostage situation set a dangerous tone for how the conflict - which was launched on a Jewish holiday - could develop.

Israel certainly will but then of course the DemoMarxist domestic enemy media here will make the Palestinians out to victims and the Israelis genocidal maniacs.

It’s time.

May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him. As smoke is blown away by the wind, may you blow them away; as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God.

All of them.

ALL OF THEM.

Am Yisrael chai!

Used to be all the pictures of israeli’s in public, at the market, taking kids to school, that they all had military rifles slung over a shoulder. What caused them to start trusting their natural enemies enough that they just disarmed themselves and pretty well painted targets on themselves?

I wonder who financed this.

It was just announced less than a month ago that Biden was giving Iran some money for hostages. I'm not excusing that, however, this operation, if it's true that 5,000 missiles were launched in less than a day, wasn't dependent on that in the least.

Horrific, but par for the course for the “religion of pieces”.
Remember what al queda and isis did to Christians, Yazidis and Kurds?
Same thing.

“How many muslim, Chinese and other terrorists have entered the U.S. since Traitor Joe opened the country to INVASION”?

Enough to accomplish their mission when they are ordered to do so.

Never mind financed how did they get their weapons? I’ve never seen Hamas have this many weapons. Someone is sending them the good stuff.

They would have clearly known something was going on, but, weren't prepared to preemptively attack as a precaution. Yes, it needs explanation, but the focus should remain on Hamas, and their main allies, Iran and Russia, as the responsible parties. They certainly aren't apologizing, nor will they.

Absolutely. Direct fallout of Biden paying 6b to Iran.

Analysis is just coming out, but from some I've seen, the anti-tank drones that were used are very similar to the one's Russia is using in Ukraine, and aren't something many armies have in their arsenal, at all. Guess we'll see if that's true soon enough.

Prepare for many more such bloody episodes. Israel is outnumbered and surrounded by Muslims.
