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 200 people have died and hundreds of others are wounded in Israel, officials said.
Fighting has carried through the day, and a fresh round of rocket attacks hit areas in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening. In Gaza, at least 232 Palestinians have died and more than 1,600 are wounded, the Palestinian health ministry said. Israel launched air strikes on the territory in response to the attack.
