BREAKING: Hamas Fires 5,000 Rockets Into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel Declares 'State of War'
Red State ^ | October 7, 2023 | Bob Hoge

The militant group Hamas launched attacks on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv early Saturday morning, prompting the Israeli government to declare a "state of war."

The situation is chaotic:

In a statement posted on Telegram, Hamas called on 'the resistance fighters in the West Bank' as well as 'our Arab and Islamic nations' to join the battle.

Following the first attacks, Hamas commander Deif has urged Palestinians to engage in a civil uprising.

In remarks reported by CNN, he said: 'If you have a gun, get it out. This is the time to use it – get out with trucks, cars, axes. Today the best and most honorable history starts.'

'Today the people are regaining their revolution,' he said in other statements reported by AP, as he called on Palestinians from east Jerusalem to northern Israel to 'expel the occupiers and demolish the walls.'

Israel officials countered, with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant saying, "Hamas has made a big mistake this morning,' and that "Israel will win."

I’m surprised that Israel was not more prepared for this. It was obvious it was coming and will escalate.

Wath out for big missiles from Iran.

Time to sweep up the sandnaggers. Every last one of them. 1000 die for every 1 Israeli killed.

I am against violence except when absolutely necessary, but if Israel will retaliate, the response needs to be overwhelming. Enough so that anyone alive would never do this again.

Couple hundred 1000lb JDAMs in return fire would be nice.

"Hamas commander Deif has urged Palestinians to engage in a civil uprising. In remarks reported by CNN, he said: 'If you have a gun, get it out. This is the time to use it – "

If you take up those guns, you are no longer civil" - you are militant.

And you will be targeted as such.

The gloves are off! Time for an ass whooping!

I had a vision of this years ago. After my NDE. Everything else I was shown is happening, including China and Russia.
