Israeli forces struck back against Hamas terrorists, launching rockets into Gaza and fighting in the streets of southern Israel on Sunday.
Israel's security cabinet officially declared war Saturday night after Hamas terrorists launched a surprise barrage of thousands of rockets into southern Israel, killing hundreds and wounding thousands, according to Israeli media. Israeli soldiers battled Hamas fighters in the streets of southern Israel a day after Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists invaded the area and launched rockets from the Gaza Strip, killing at least 600 Israelis and wounding at least 2,000 others, according to Fox News.
Among the 313 killed in Gaza were 20 children, and close to 2,000 wounded, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. Meanwhile, Israel's northern border came under attack Sunday as Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets and shells at three Israeli positions in a disputed area along the border. Israel’s military returned fire using armed drones. During Saturday’s incursion, Hamas fighters reportedly captured women, children and the elderly.
On Saturday night, Israel's security cabinet voted to officially go to war, according to Israeli media. It is Israel's first declaration of war since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier declared war following the surprise attack on Israel, vowing that Hamas 'will pay an unprecedented price.' He warned, 'This war will take time. It will be difficult.
