At least 150 people are reported killed and 1,100 wounded in Israel after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its biggest attack in years.

Dozens of gunmen from Gaza infiltrated southern Israeli communities after dawn under the cover of heavy rocket fire.

They have taken both Israeli soldiers and civilians hostage, and some have been brought back to Gaza.

Israel has responded with a wave of air strikes on Gaza that have killed 232 people and wounded 1,600, medics say.

    After decades of watching Israel break treaties, steal land/homes, and kill people, I am not terribly upset to see the other side fighting back.

      Aiming to and harming civilians is not “fighting back”. It is plain lowly cowardly disgusting terrorism. Fuck Hamas.
