Israeli response to unprovoked attack by Hamas begins

Israeli response to unprovoked attack by Hamas begins.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is "at war" after Gaza militants launched a surprise attack Saturday morning, firing thousands of rockets and entering Israel by land, sea and air using paragliders.
At least 300 people have died and thousands of others are wounded in Israel, officials said. Fighting carried through the day, and a fresh round of rocket attacks hit Tel Aviv and other areas on Saturday evening.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have urged civilians in Gaza to leave their residential areas immediately for their safety as Israeli military operations continue to target Hamas following Saturday's surprise attacks.
The US could announce new assistance to Israel as soon as Sunday, a US official said, as the Biden administration works to bolster its Middle East ally in the wake of Saturday's unprecedented attack by Hamas.
