itemprop=description content=In an assault of startling breadth, Hamas gunmen rolled into as many as 22 locations outside the Gaza Strip.
Backed by a barrage of rockets, dozens of Hamas militants broke out of the blockaded Gaza Strip and into nearby Israeli towns, killing dozens and abducting others in an unprecedented surprise early morning attack during a major Jewish holiday on Saturday.
At least 198 people in the Gaza Strip have been killed and at least 1,610 wounded in Israeli strikes, the Palestinian health ministry said. The situation is potentially more volatile now, with Israel’s far-right government stung by the security breach and with Palestinians in despair over a never-ending occupation in the West Bank and suffocating blockade of Gaza.
Associated Press photos showed an abducted elderly Israeli woman being taken back into Gaza on a golf buggy by Hamas gunmen and another woman squeezed between two fighters on a motorcycle.
Political commentators lambasted the government over its failure to anticipate what appeared to be a Hamas attack unseen in its level of planning and coordination. If true, the claim could set the stage for complicated negotiations on a swap with Israel, which is holding thousands of Palestinians in its prisons.
Israel’s military was bringing four divisions of troops as well as tanks to the Gaza border, joining 31 battalions already in the area, the spokesman Hagari said. Saudi Arabia, which has been in talks with the US about normalising relations with Israel, called on both sides to exercise restraint.
