Israel’s defense minister announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that "Israel will win.”

Following a security cabinet meeting at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hamas “made a grave mistake” in launching barrages of rockets into southern and central Israel in its surprise morning attack.

In one of the most serious escalations in years between Israel and the militant group that rules Gaza, Hamas gunmen crossed the border fence at several places and infiltrated Israeli communities.

    Israel doesn’t target civilians, nor fires indiscriminately. These are like the crazies that shoot up schools and concerts in the USA.

      This is demonstrably, objectively false. There are literally dozens of UN reports with clear evidence that Israel routinely targets civilians. They literally just bombed a five story apartment building an hour ago. Look up “mowing the grass”

      Yes, the IDF doesn’t target civilians just like how American police don’t target African americans.
