itemprop=description content=Hamas fired thousands of rockets at Israel on Saturday and sent dozens of fighters across the country’s heavily fortified border.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told Israel that it is “at war” with Hamas militants that rule the Gaza Strip.
The serious invasion on Simchat Torah revived memories of the 1973 war practically 50 years to the day, in which Israel’s enemies launched a surprise attack on Yom Kippur. Israeli media reported that dozens of people were taken to hospital in southern Israel. The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported injuries among “many citizens” without giving numbers and loudspeakers on mosques broadcast prayers of mourning for killed militants.
The fighters had sneaked across the separation fence and even invaded Israel through the air with paragliders, the army said.

He declined to comment on how Hamas had managed to catch the army off guard. “That’s a good question,” he said. Israel has built a massive fence along the Gaza border meant to prevent infiltrations. It goes deep underground and is equipped with cameras, high-tech sensors and sensitive listening technology.
