About the attacks

Around 6:30 am (local time) on Saturday, a barrage of rocket fire began from Gaza into Israel, hitting several cities including Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Gedera, and Ashkelon. This was followed by several Hamas terrorists entering Israel from the Gaza Strip and taking over Israeli towns.

Hamas military commander Muhammad Al-Deif called the operation "Al-Aqsa Flood", saying the assault on Israel was a response to attacks on women, the desecration of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and the ongoing siege of Gaza.

Meanwhile, the death toll from the Hamas terror group's multi-front attack on Israel soared past 300 now and is expected to mount, reports stated. Notably, Palestinian terrorists, who entered Israel from Gaza early on Saturday morning, unleashing an unprecedented ground assault on civilians, are still being sought by Israeli security authorities in southern Israel villages, according to reports.

An undetermined number of terrorists were captured or killed by security forces and others while some managed to sneak back into Gaza with hostages, including women, children, and senior citizens, according to reports. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel's response to the Hamas incursion will "exact a huge price" on the terrorist group, according to reports.
