Israeli forces struck back against Hamas terrorists, launching rockets into Gaza and fighting in the streets of southern Israel on Sunday.
Israeli forces launched retaliatory strikes against Hamas terrorists in Gaza on Sunday after a surprise barrage of thousands of rockets hit southern Israel, while also trading fire with Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group in the north.
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. An Egyptian official told the Associated Press, 'It’s clear that they have a big number — several dozens' of hostages.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 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.' Deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, Saleh al-Arouri, told Al-Jazeera TV that it had planned for a long fight. 'We are prepared for all options, including all-out war,' al-Arouri, said.
