Expect the total to climb as more victims are found.
Israel’s national rescue service said at least 70 people have been killed and hundreds more were wounded in a surprise attack by the militant group Hamas.
The casualties made Hamas’ attack on southern Israel the deadliest one in Israel in years.
The Magen David Adom said Saturday that “hundreds” of people were seriously injured and strongly urged the public to heed the directives of Israeli authorities for safety.
The wounded were being evacuated in ambulances, mobile intensive care vehicles, and by helicopter to various hospitals.
At least 198 people in the Gaza Strip have been killed in Israel’s retaliation, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said.

Where are the lefties who populate this blog? Where are all the Dems weeping about the poor Palestinians? Where are the freedom-haters standing up for Iran and applauding Biden giving Iran billions. This vicious aggression is on Biden’s head–and theirs.

Actually Mike Pence is ranting about Republican candidate appeasement. Pence specifically calls out DeSantis and Ramaswamy. Has Rand Paul weighed in?

right here, you misinformed maga cultist. your unpatriotic attack on our leader is shameful. biden let the iranian’s own money be given back to them in a controlled manner to get back our citizens. what would you do, leave our citizens captive? our captive citizens deserve their freedom but you criticize biden for getting their freedom back. your maga party is taking people’s’ freedoms away with every pen stroke. you sound like a person full of hate and racism, you must be a white christian supremast. zionist have been oppressing palestinians for decades, but you expect them to lie down and take it. shame on you.

First Ukraine and now Israel. No one fears that idiot Joe Biden. Meanwhile back at the USA and the Southern Border chaos and runaway inflation. Yup, Bidenomics at work.

your comment was incomprehensible. what’s biden got to do with israel or ukraine except offer a mature throughout solution if possible. what would trump or desantis do besides make things worse. the maga cult refuses to submit a workable border plan, yet you blame biden. you sound like a hatter’s hater. inflation is going down slowly and steady. the trillions of debt your guy racked up is now being cleaned up by biden. what do you want to impeach biden for anyway, beating trump in a fair election. you and the maga cult you belong to are irrational and just sore losers. why do you think trump lost, because he’s crazy that’s why. watch something besides bannon and fox, you might learn something..your comment was that of a fool.

Arabs have a long tradition of kidnapping for ransom. Paying it makes it a good strategy. Shows they’ve been paying attention.

Why now I wonder?
Anyway, the GOPer rightwingers shouldn’t care.
Just a foreign territorial dispute.
None of our concern.
Right, Rhonda?

After recently watching Golda I wonder what happened to Israeli intelligence that allowed this to occur? I’m certain the USA will come to Israel’s defense needs if this war spreads beyond Gaza. So far in this fog of war I see no evidence that other Arab countries have joined this incursion.

being compared to biden or harris is an honor. thank you. if i called you as dumb as trump, now that would be a huge insult. do you like to grab women by their wussy just because you are rich and famous. do you cheat on your taxes . i could go on and on, but you being in the maga cult, you wouldn’t understand nothing except the lies and hatred of your cult leader king trump.
