On Saturday morning, the Palestinian Islamic terrorist organization Hamas, with affiliations to members of the United States Democrat Party and the majority of left-wing Western governments, initiated a massive assault on Israel. Disturbing video footage depicts Israeli civilians being executed and others being seized and taken to Gaza as “prisoners of war,” all while Muslims chanted “Allahu akbar.”
The attack commenced at 6:00 AM Saturday, Eastern Time (ET), when Hamas unleashed a barrage of thousands of rockets towards Israel, with an estimated 5,000 rockets launched. Hamas has taken responsibility for this assault, dubbing it the “Al-Aqsa tidal wave.”
Furthermore, alongside the rocket attacks, Hamas launched attacks by air and ground using ultralight aircraft, motorcycles, and other vehicles. Reports indicate that several nearby towns and settlements were seized during the morning hours. In response, the Israel Defense Forces have declared a state of war and acknowledged that Hamas has penetrated Israeli territory.

Hamas: They are not hostages – they are prisoners of war
Several videos are circulating on social media, depicting Hamas taking both civilians and Israelis back to Gaza. Other clips show gruesome footage after Hamas executes civilians who attempted to seek shelter from the attack.
Hamas dismisses the notion that they have taken hostages and asserts that the Israelis are prisoners of war. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has commented on the attack by stating that the Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves against the “terror of settlers and occupation troops.”

Le Hamas a publié cette vidéo qui montre des otages israéliens.
Le groupe terroriste ne montre pas les femmes et les enfants kidnappés. La vidéo est cependant révélatrice de la dangerosité de ce groupe proche d'Erdogan et des Frères Musulmans. pic.twitter.com/uS8SK3VzDm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Citizens of Israel,
We are at war, not in an operation or in rounds, but at war. This morning, Hamas launched a murderous surprise attack against the State of Israel and its citizens. We have been in this since the early morning hours. pic.twitter.com/C7YQUviItR
At a cabinet meeting later on Saturday, Netanyahu announced that Israel’s initial objective is to clear the country of enemy forces. Following this, the nation must deliver a significant punishment to the enemy.
Since this morning, the State of Israel has been at war. Our first objective is to clear out the hostile forces that infiltrated our territory and restore the security and quiet to the communities that have been attacked.

I’m so old I remember the six day war of 1967, and yom kippur war, 1973. These people hate each other, and neither is innocent. It’s fricken war, same shit, different flies! Have at it, and to the victor go the spoils.
A significant punishment? That’s all? Maybe utter destruction?
I recommend everybody order extra food and supplies. I have 500 lbs of rice, and 20+ cases of beans. Also lots of meat and protein. Medicines, lighters, first aid, ammo, knife, rope, flashlight, batteries, radio, some cash. Ideally you need plenty of water and staples in case a declaration martial law occurs. It could be too dangerous to go out for supplies. Don’t be foolish, prepare yourselves in case times get tough. I have a big headache from reading too many stories today. Be safe out there.
