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 has no choice, they have to completely erase those groups from
Israel, West Bank, and Gaza as well as the people that assisted.

Sure is interesting how things went sideways so decisively fast. Something this coordinated has obviously been in the planning for a good while, was certainly not spur of the moment.

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

Most Arab nations, most notably Saudi Arabia, are now allies with Israel. It's the Iranians, who are at odds with Saudi Arabia and most other Arab nations, that are the problem. And the biggest ally of Iran is Russia, who has a long history of supporting the Palestinians as well.

Obama’s appeasement of Iran = enabling the Holocaust to continue.

The party is just getting started.

Analysis is just coming out, but from some I've seen

I guess this is supposed to be your "Reports are saying..." BS in continuation? Post those reports, or in this case, analysis.

And how many of the enemy are already inside our borders? How many THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of young, male, combatants have been let in? They’ll be ready to strike in short order, and in my darkest thoughts I see them doing just that. Let us send a bomb or a nuke, instant retaliation.

God help us all.

The “Palestinians” the Romans invented were all Jews. The ones the KGB invented are all Arabs.

for 80 years the Israelis have chosen to suffer an implacable murderous enemy. Now the world sees where that got them. The new improved way of treating monsters like they are not monsters has worked as well as it possibly could.

“ Hamas sent high-level delegation to Moscow at Russia’s invitation”
********************************************************

More than a half year ago and it was totally unrelated to these current Muslim atrocities. Just sayin’.

Bibi has now told Gazans to get out of Gaza so serious retaliation lies ahead. they’ve been notifying buildings to be bombed in advance - but now they’re tell the people to get the H out. with so many dead now and hostages, the rage has to be huge. the barbarism shown today will be answered. thank God Bibi is there to do it.

So now Joe is pretending to care... Im ashamed to be an American today...
It's pre-election season, so expect more of this fake positioning. They're trying to eliminate issues before '24 in order to deflect Trump's criticisms. Look for more wall, more Israel, less EV, less global warming, more police, more "rule of law" and "looting is not so nice", etc. ... all of it vacuous rhetoric.

“ 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.”
**************************************************************************

Absolutely DESPICABLE for you to try to tie this to Russia. But I guess you’re incapable of remaining honest and are firmly in the “BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY” camp.

Oh, really? Are you not aware of Russia’s close ties to Hamas, and Iran?

How about this:
