Over 100 Israelis have died and more than 900 were injured after rockets were fired from Gaza by Hamas militants, Israeli officials said Saturday.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said 198 were killed in Gaza and at least 1,610 were injured Saturday in retaliatory attacks from Israel.

“We are at war. We will win,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

The Israeli Defense Forces earlier declared “a state of alert for war,” according to a statement issued by the IDF.

“Over the past hour, the Hamas terrorist organization launched massive barrages of rockets from Gaza into Israel, and its terrorist operatives have infiltrated into Israel in a number of different locations in the south,” the IDF said early Saturday.

    When a fight stops and then you lob rockets at civilians years later, that’s a new conflict. This isn’t difficult to put together.

      Ah yes, the famously stopped Israel/Palestine conflict. You’re right, I forgot that they had declared a ceasefire some time after the last Israeli raid on Palestine “years” ago, back in July 2023, where they sent thousands of troops, drones, and missiles into Jenin.

      When the fight stops

      Palestine has been occupied since how long? Israeli aggression never ended.

        I don’t really see how that’s relevant, here. It’s horrible; however, it’s also not relevant to whether or not Hamas started a new discrete conflict (they did).
