After a Surprise Attack On Israel, the country is in a state of war, after Palestinian militants launched a large-scale surprise attack from the blockaded Gaza Strip on civilian and military targets in Israel early Saturday 07th Oct 23. There are hundreds of people have been killed on both sides, and an unknown number of Israelis have been taken to hostage.
A new day may happen more violence in Gaza and Israel, and may spread the conflicts to other neighbouring contries. The leaders on both sides say they’re now at war — and that it won’t be over soon. In the first day of attacks and fighting, at least 250 Israelis were killed, and more than 1,000 wounded. More than 230 Palestinians were killed, with nearly 2,000 injured, according to health officials in Gaza.
The violence has ranged from close-combat ground fighting to airstrikes and rocket attacks.
Questions that are now circulating range from how calm might be restored to what goals Israel might pursue in response to what it deems an invasion, and whether open warfare might derail U.S. efforts to normalize relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Israel said they will “reach into every place Hamas is hiding” and turn those locations into ruins, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed in a late-night TV address. Israel’s military is calling up reservist soldiers, reinforcing positions and launching airstrikes on targets in Gaza.
Hamas, the Islamist militant group, took control of Gaza in 2007. Anyone in areas where Hamas operates in the Gaza Strip should “leave those places now,” Netanyahu said. He added, “Israel will settle the score with anyone who harms them.”
Israeli airstrikes hit central Gaza City Saturday night, leveling a 14-story building that housed Hamas offices, as well as apartments, according to The Associated Press. The agency reports that Israel gave warning of the airstrike, and no casualties were reported.
“We are at war,” Netanyahu said early Saturday, in a video statement in front of Israel’s military headquarters. He vowed to exact an “immense price from the enemy.” Netanyahu’s office says his security cabinet met and decided to shut off electricity and gas Israel supplies to Gaza and to block the import and export of goods through Israel’s border crossing.
In Gaza City, morgues and hospitals overflowed with families seeking news about their relatives. The streets were dark Saturday night.
