Israeli planes strike Gaza after Hamas launch attack

The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched the biggest attack on Israel in years on Saturday (October 7), killing more than 20 people and wounding hundreds in a surprise assault that combined gunmen crossing into Israel with a barrage of rockets fired from Gaza.

Israel said the Iran-backed group had declared war as its army confirmed fighting with militants in several Israeli towns and military bases near Gaza and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate.

At least 70 Israelis were killed in the attack so far, Israel’s ambulance service said. Around 545 Israelis had been wounded, the health ministry said.

The Israeli military said it had responded with air strikes into Gaza, where witnesses reported hearing heavy explosions and multiple dead being carried into hospitals.

Television images showed smoke trails from planes in the sky followed by sound of multiple explosions and thick plumes of smoke rising behind buildings in Gaza City.

Saturday’s attack marked an unprecedented infiltration into Israel by an unknown number of Hamas gunmen crossing from the Gaza Strip, and the heaviest blow for Israel in the conflict with Palestinians since the suicide bombings of the Second Intifada some two decades ago.

  1. Trump gave out Israeli intelligence secrets in the white house and that led to less sharing of intelligence between US and Israeli. That was part of why this caught them off guard.

  2. Who makes the call? HAMAS DID , THEY STRIKE ON ISRAELI CIVILIANS AND KILL AND SLAUGHTERED THEM LIKE AN ANIMAL INCLUDING WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN AT THEIR HOME.
    NOW THEY ACT AS A VICTIM. I DON'T HAVE ANY SYMPATHY LEFT FOR THEM(Hamas). THEY DESERVE TO STRIKE HARDER THAN THIS. THEY'RE BEGGING FOR THIS MILITARY AIR STRIKE AND NOW THEY EARNED WHAT THEY ASKING FOR. THEY'RE NEVER THE VICTIM THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS IN REALITY , A GOAT IN SHEEP CLOTHING. SHAME ON THEM.
    The HAMAS WERE BEGGING FOR THIS STRIKE BACK. THEY EARNED IT. THEY DESERVE MORE THAN THIS FROM ISRAEL. THEY WERE CALLING FOR IT. THEY DID THE CALL SO HERE THEY GOT IT RIGHT ON THEIR ARSES

  3. They blasted their hostages along with them. Difference is the Muslims went to Jannah and the Jews and Kafirs went to 🔥 Allah is with us they could never Eliminate all of us. Islam will rule InshaAllah all of these Muslims that died are Shaheed straight to Jannah ❤ thank you Israel Allah will punish you indeed Wallahi

  4. When "america" has WEAKLING "leaders." Take a good look, it's just starting. And soetoro can apologize to hamas till he's blue, he don't care!

  5. They should just flatten the entire Gaza strip to finally end the terrorist activity. Just like what Russia did to Bakhmut. Maybe HAMAS will finally understand the consequences of their actions by that time..

  6. I am sure that Hamas has taken into account that the Israel Military is going to enter Gaza – in my estimation, they have prepared for the invasion of military vehicles and soldiers. You can think of this strategy on the part of Hamas as an ambush using the hostages as bait. This is going to be a bloodbath that neither side would be able to claim victory in the long run.
