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.

    Oh fuck off with this both sides bullshit. Lemmy is full of tankies who screech about how people who claim both sides are usually siding with the side who did wrong… until it’s the bad side they’re brain dead ideology supports, then there’s both sides again. There’s no both sides in this case. As far as the recent events that took place, Hamas is very clearly and very explicitly in the wrong and it is not even a discussion. What they did today was so vile and barbaric that it literally can only be compared to ISIS in 2014-2016. They invaded towns and occupied people’s homes, went house to house killing entire families, they bombed civilian targets with the goal of killing as many people as possible, they took civilian hostages, and the list goes on and on. There’s a lot to criticize Israel for, but they never took the naked bodies of the women and children that they intentionally killed and dragged them around the streets in their trucks to celebrate their murder. Israel was the victim today and Hamas have once again proven that they are indeed a terrorist group.
