Israel-Palestine conflict intensifies after Hamas attack
The conflict between Israeli forces and the Palestinian group Hamas escalated significantly today, resulting in hundreds of casualties on both sides. This surge in violence followed an attack on Israel, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to caution that they were entering into a prolonged and challenging war.
In the deadliest escalation of the conflict in decades, Hamas launched a massive barrage of rockets and initiated ground, air, and sea offensives. Israel's army reported over 300 Israeli casualties and 1,000 injuries. Gaza officials, on the other hand, stated that intense Israeli airstrikes in the coastal enclave had resulted in a Palestinian death toll of at least 400, with nearly 1,700 individuals wounded.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran in Lebanon, announced that it launched "large numbers of artillery shells and guided missiles" on Israeli positions within a disputed border region. They stated that this assault was conducted as an act of "solidarity" with the attack initiated by Hamas.
Netanyahu vows to avenge Hamas attack
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to avenge what he described as a "dark day" in Israel's history.
"The IDF (army) is about to use all its force to destroy Hamas's capabilities. We'll strike them to the bitter end and avenge with force this black day they brought on Israel and its people," he said.
He cautioned Palestinians residing in proximity to Hamas installations in Gaza to evacuate immediately, as he promised to transform their hiding places into "rubble" in response to their unexpected attack. "I'm telling the people of Gaza: get out of there now, because we're about to act everywhere with all our force," Netanyahu said.
