Israel declares state of war
In response to the attacks, which appear to have caught the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) by surprise, Israel has declared a state of war.
“A number of terrorists have infiltrated into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip,” the military said in a statement, adding that residents in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip had been told to stay in their homes.
“The Israel Defence Forces will defend Israeli civilians and the Hamas terrorist organisation will pay heavy price for its actions,” it said.
7 communities under Hamas control:
Israels’s channel 13 is reporting that 7 communities are under Hamas control.
These include Sderot, Nahal Oz, Kfar Haza, Magen, Sufa Beheri and general command of Gaza.
