Palestinian terrorists in Gaza launched a stunning attack against Israel on Saturday with rockets and ground forces, inflicting significant casualties and prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare “we are at war.”
At least 40 people were reported killed inthe initial volley as Hamas forces focused on southern and central Israel, and infiltrated the town of Sderot, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
”We are at war,” Netanyahu declared in a televised address. “Not an ‘operation,’ not a ‘round,’ but at war.

The group was founded in 1987 by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a Palestinian refugee living in Gaza, during the first intifada, or uprising, which was marked by widespread protests against Israel’s occupation.
Saw more news and each day what is being reported is more horrifying than the day before. What happened to humans being able to rise above war and use negotiating skills to compromise and avoid war? I know some of those answers but they may too controversial to discuss openly.
There's too much that can go wrong at this point with Hezbollah at the border and I just read the leader of Hamas, Khalid Mashal, has called on Muslims Worldwide to rise up on Friday the 13th.
My husband has a saying, "Compassion kills"...meaning the moment you let your guard down is the moment you put yourself at risk....much like the Israeli's intelligence did. They let their guard down trusting that the Palestinian people that were afforded work permits into Israel had no interest in war, but meanwhile Hamas was openly preparing to attack Israel for months.

This is the other side of war. It's human nature to make judgements and choose which side of the political aisle you stand on. My post is not about right and wrong choices, but about reminding people that war is hell and no matter what country is involved there are tragedies that befall innocent people on both sides. The non-Hamas Palestinians are in the heart of this war too, without water, food, electricity or a safe haven shelter right now. Yes, Israel was bombed, terrorized, and horrible acts where taken upon the Israelis, but just across the Gaza strip, there is suffering of another kind too.
Where are the peacemakers? Where are the negotiators for Israel and the terrorist group Hamas? Right now, it's war, retaliation and any kind of devastation? Now Hezbollah is bombing from Lebanon at the north side of Israel.

“There is never a Plan B here,” said 31-year-old Maha Hussaini, as she watched terrified Rimal residents flood her Gaza City neighborhood further south just as bombs began to fall there, too. Israel accuses Hamas of endangering Gaza’s civilian population by placing weapons and missile launchers in densely populated areas. It also accuses them of using civilians as human shields. So far, the Gaza toll stands at about 700 dead and thousands wounded, according to Gaza health officials, a punishing response to the militant group’s attack that has killed over 900 Israelis. More than 150 Israeli civilians and soldiers have been taken captive.

But in the days since Hamas militants launched an Oct. 7 attack on Israel, the deadliest in years, online misinformation has distorted the facts around the conflict.
Outdated and fictional images and videos are being characterized as if they are from Israel and Gaza.
As if the real toll was not enough: At least 2,200 people in Israel and Gaza have been killed in the attacks, The Associated Press reported Oct. 11. The death toll includes at least 22 Americans and over a dozen more unaccounted for.
Politicianshave clouded the information environment with unproven claims that U.S. taxpayer money and a recent deal with Iran funded the massacre.
Here are the viral misleading claims about the conflict that PolitiFact has fact checked so far.
