During the celebration of Simchat Tora from 6.30 a.m. to 13 p.m., Palestinians fired more than 3,000 rockets from Gaza towards Israel. Not only in many confederate towns but besides in the center of the country, in the Telavian agglomeration and Jerusalem. Direct hits, home and car, occurred in the center of Tel Aviv and in the south of the country. The Palestinians occupied 12 tiny towns (including Beeri, Nahal Oz, Kfar Aza, Sderot, Nir Oz, Sufa), partially kibbutzes, in the south of the country.
Since this morning, hundreds of Israelis have barricaded themselves in homes, hiding from Hamas terrorists sweeping Israeli homes and streets. – Where is the Israeli army? Terrorists are shooting at the windows of our house! We're scared! Save us! – specified voices have been heard in tv studios since morning during live telephone conversations with local residents, who so far (Saturday 15.48) are partially inactive in the hands of terrorists. There are many arsons of homes to lure Israelis from hiding places and abductions. IDF spokesman, Brigadier General Daniel Hagari refused to confirm or deny information that there were Israeli hostages in Gaza. A peculiarly dramatic event occurred during a youth outdoor event in a desert area in the Gaza Strip, where hundreds of young people stayed.

They were hit by a hail of rockets and were shot at by respective terrorist groups on the pickles. – We pretended to be dead— they told reporters of the “N13” program, young Israelis who managed to escape fire. – As shortly as we heard the alarm and saw the cars with the terrorists. – says 1 of them – withbut we didn't know where to run or what to do. Everywhere, grenades were fired and thrown. In consequence to the Hamas attack, Israel launched an armed operation “Iron Swords”. Tens of Israeli fighters attacked targets in Gaza.
A wide-ranging recruitment of reserve troops of all IDF troops was announced. Fearing the attacks of Hezbollah in the north of the country, as well as the interior attacks in East Jerusalem, in the areas of Judea and Samaria, national safety minister Itamar Ben-Gewir ordered a state of emergency in the country and decided to recruit as many police volunteers as possible and to full arm all armed forces throughout the country. At the ongoing gathering of the Political and safety Cabinet convened 7 hours after the attack Israel will make crucial decisions for the future of the country and the full region of the mediate East regarding the degree of the fight and the means it will use. It must be that the harsh consequence that Israeli citizens are demanding, coupled with the deaths of civilians during the bombing Gaza can lead to the intervention of arabian states hostile to Israel and to a long and bloody war. The voices of citizens completely amazed by the ineptness and inefficiency of the military, the media in Israel and politicians are mostly consistent.
They advocate a fatal hit in Hamas, entering the Gaza Strip and clearing it out of terrorist organizations, even if this means a anticipation of major losses besides on the Israeli side. – We are at war, we must stay calm during war. I call upon all Israeli citizens to unite “N13 stated Prime Minister Netanyahu, who does not question the fact that the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has entered an unknown level so far and that a peace truce cannot be signed after Hamas has crossed Israel’s borders and entered Israeli towns. The Palestinian mass rocket attack, compared with the traumatic attack on Israelis in the war of Jom Kipur, and the attack on the south and centre of Israel from land, air (with air gliders) as well as the sea, crossing the border without fast intervention by the armed forces, and the seizure of Israeli towns, is simply a major failure of the full Israeli defence concept and has shown the weakness of Israeli intelligence, which has been reliable and inept of defence. It could besides mean the beginning of a bloody war, possibly international.
