GazaCNN —
Multiple militants from Gaza have entered Israeli territory, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Saturday, shortly after a barrage of rockets left one person dead and at least three injured.

Palestinian militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the rocket attack.

Hamas military commander Muhammad Al-Deif released a recorded message, announcing operation “Al-Aqsa Storm” and saying the Palestinian militant group “targeted the enemy positions, airports and military positions with 5,000 rockets.”

The IDF has warned Israelis who live near Gaza to stay in their homes.

The rockets, which were witnessed by a CNN producer in Gaza, prompted sirens as far north as the Tel Aviv area, east to Beer Sheva, and many other locations in between.

Hey everyone,

Websleuths does not have enough staff, time, or specific knowledge of all Israel/Palestine/Middle Eastern affairs to be able to vet / research all the background of the various publications that members are sending us for approval. Chances are, we don't know any more than you do about a particular source.

Members are going to have to do their own due diligence by thoroughly checking out the background and credibility of the sources they are reading. If you are convinced that a source is legitimate, go ahead and link to it. If your post gets Reported by other members with an explanation as to any concern, WS staff will review it at that time.

Also, as Websleuths is located in the USA, linked articles need to be from MSM, government or other well recognized agencies or individuals, and articles need to be in English or with English translation.

Thanks to all for your cooperation.

SB :)

Israel-Hamas war live updates: U.S. hits Iran-linked targets in Syria

Follow NBC News' coverage for live updates and developments about the Israel-Hamas war where a raid was launched in Gaza for a second night.

''What we know​

  • The U.S. launched strikes on Iranian-linked targets in Syria in retaliation for a series of drone attacks on American military bases in Iraq and Syria, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said overnight.
  • Israeli forces conducted another raid in the Gaza Strip in advance of an expected ground invasion into the Hamas-ruled territory. Troops, fighter jets and drones hit anti-tank missile launch sites, command and control centers, according to the IDF.
  • In Gaza, supplies of food, medicine and fuel for powering emergency generators are running low, according to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, which provides basic services to hundreds of thousands of people.
  • More than 7,000 people, including women and children, have been killed in Gaza, according to Palestinian health officials. In Israel, about 1,400 people have died. At least 229 people were taken hostage during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack — some of them infants and small children.
  • International calls for a cease-fire have been rejected by Israel, which also angrily denounced U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres over comments about the conflict.''

Hamas attacker heard bragging of shooting people in call — army​

The Israeli military releases what it says is a recording of a call between Hamas terrorists during their murderous rampage through Israel on October 7.

In the call, a man can be heard yelling orders at others who appear to be next to him, including telling them to “kill anyone you catch.”

He also boasts to the person on the other end of the call about his actions, asking them to listen as he shoots someone.

“The bastards live happily while we are humiliated. I’m going to tear them apart one by one,” he yells.

He also asks that someone go to tell his family about his actions, which appears to be a theme. A recording of a call released by the army previously featured another Hamas terrorist bragging to his family that he had killed 10 Jews.

''LONDON (AP) — Abigail Edan is just 3 years old, yet when Hamas militants stormed her kibbutz, Kfar Azza, on Oct. 7 and killed her parents, she knew enough to run to a neighbor’s for shelter.
The Brodutch family — mother Hagar and her three children — took Abigail in as the rampage raged. Then all five disappeared, later confirmed by the government to be captives of Hamas, both families said, some of more than 200 people dragged to Gaza on Israel’s bloodiest day.
The waking nightmare has plunged the families of the captives into a foggy limbo distinct from grieving, even as tight-knit Israel mourns the more than 1,400 people killed by militants. The families of an estimated 30 children taken hostage from Israel describe a more exquisite agony, one of being haunted by the knowledge that their captive loved ones are defenseless.''

“She’s a baby, just 3 years old, and she’s all alone,” said Abigail’s aunt, Tal Edan, in a telephone interview, her voice quivering. “Maybe she was with a neighbor, but I don’t know if they’re still together. She has no one.”
