AFPPIX: Israeli forces battled holdout Hamas fighters and pounded targets in the Gaza Strip Sunday as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of a “long and difficult” war ahead sparked by the Palestinian militant group’s massive surprise attack.
Israel also came under attack from the north on Sunday when Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement launched missiles and artillery shells “in solidarity” with the unprecedented Hamas offensive. According to the Israeli news website Ynet, “dozens of Israeli captives, including numerous women, children and elders, are believed to have been taken into the Gaza Strip”.
Netanyahu -- who leads a hard-right government but has received support from political opponents during Israel’s national emergency -- has vowed to turn Hamas hideouts “to rubble” and urged Palestinians there to flee as devastating air strikes continued. “The Islamic resistance ... attacked three positions of the Zionist enemy in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa farms... with large numbers of artillery shells and guided missiles,“ it said in a statement.
Hamas said Saturday it had fired 5,000 rockets, while Israel reported some 3,000 incoming projectiles. Several bypassed the Iron Dome missile defence system and smashed into buildings as far as Tel Aviv.
