Like Po said, situation is changing by the minute. this was originally sent 39 minutes prior to me writing this (so 10:50ish EST).
FYSA: Tel Aviv is 3 hours ahead of GMT (+3), EST is 5 hours ahead of GMT (-5)
that puts EST 8 hours ahead of Tel Aviv. So Friday at about 10:30pm (2230) is when the coordinated attack happened.
I told jjpo about thousands dying in the first week. We're well on our way. The Chinese are going to take Taiwan next. Then Russia will take Ukraine (with a lot of a bloodbath). Back to Israel. The Israelis will start to win. Iran will nuke it.
And remember that pedojoe paid them to do it.
Israel live updates: High-ranking IDF commander among those killed
At least 300 people have died and over 2,000 have been injured in Gaza and Israel after rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel by Hamas militants, Israeli authorities said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 232 are dead and 1,790 others are injured in Gaza. According to the Israeli Health Ministry over 100 people are dead and over 900 others are injured.
This is the first day. My guess is that Israel will actually turn the Gaza into rubble. They knew this before they attacked. They are asking for sympathy from the sheeple in western nations that don't understand what they do. They are now collecting "war trophy's," or Israeli women to be used a prostitutes or "married" as young as 13 to leaders of Hamas (et al).
Israel declared a 'state of war' after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise massive attack on Saturday. They fired approximately 5,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip and infiltrated militants into the country. In Israel, over 300 people were killed, while Gaza authorities reported a death toll of 232 in the bloodiest escalation of the conflict in years. Thousands were wounded on both sides. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to reduce the group's Gaza hideouts to 'rubble' and urged residents to leave immediately, as the Israeli army plans to 'operate forcefully everywhere.'
They had a video but it was all in Hindi, so of no use.
'I Saw A Sea Of Bodies': Israeli Man Recounts Hamas Attack On His Town
"At six in the morning I was sleeping, it's Saturday, a day of holiday, the whole country is resting. Suddenly at six I heard a siren, explosions. I checked on the internet and I saw there is a terrorist infiltration. You can see in the background their bodies. I went out, I saw loads of bodies of terrorists, civilians, cars shot up, sea of bodies, inside Sderot along the road, other places, loads of bodies. It is sad, it is tragic. We are at war. I don't know when it will all end," said Shlomi from Sderot.
A Reuters journalist saw a dog walking between dead bodies on the road. The dog then returned to a car and sat in the footwell.
The sudden assault by gunmen who crossed into Israeli villages, killed dozens of people and brought hostages back into the Gaza Strip.
The bodies of Israeli civilians lay strewn across a highway in Sderot, surrounded by broken glass. A woman and a man lay dead dead across the front seats of a car.
Sderot is just 4 km from the Gaza Strip and has been bearing the brunt of previous Palestinian shelling attacks.
Israel responded with massive air strikes deep inside the coastal enclave, killing scores and wounding hundreds of people and vowing unprecedented retaliation.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said the assault that had begun in Gaza would spread to the West Bank and Jerusalem.
'Please Don't Kill Me': Israeli Girl Noa Argamani Pleads After Being Kidnapped By Hamas Terrorists; Heart-Breaking Video Surfaces
Out of the many devastating and heart-breaking visuals emerging after Hamas terrorists who stormed into Israel, attacking and holding people in Southern Israel captive, a video of a young girl and Israeli national named Noa Argamani kidnapped by Hamas terrorists while she is pleading for help asking not to be killed went viral on social media, highlighting the plight of Israelis attacked by Hamas on Saturday (October 7) morning. 'Please don't kill me,' she is seen pleading with the Hamas terrorists in the video.
According to social media posts and news portals, Noa was partying in the south of Israel in a peace music festival when Hamas terrorists kidnapped her and dragged her from Israel into Gaza. Noa is seen crying for help and even extends her hands for help to her boyfriend who is also seen held captive by Hamas terrorists. Noa is held hostage by Hamas. The irony of the music festival dedicated to peace getting attacked by Hamas and Noa getting abducted from the festival along with others probably is not lost.
