Hamas militants attacked Israel utilizing over 2,200 rockets, while gunmen crossed the border causing civilians to hide in fear as the invaders committed unspeakable atrocities against the Israeli people.
Videos of militants celebrating dead Israelis showing the brutality of the militants have spread across social media. In another video, attackers are seen moving from house to house indiscriminately killing civilians while uploading the photos online.
In one instance a music festival was attacked. One attendee said "The music stopped and there was a rocket siren," and "Suddenly out of nowhere, they started shooting."
Esther Borochov got into a man's car in an attempt to flee, and the man was executed moments later, she played dead until she was rescued. "I couldn't move my legs," she said. "Soldiers came and took us away to the bushes."
Marina Medvin posted a thread on X, with links to videos as they are being shared.
"We know about civilians who are barricaded in all kinds of places," Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai told the New York Post. "We call on everyone to stay behind closed doors, we will reach everyone in the end. We are moving from one scene to another. There are quite a few terrorists who have been killed in the various scenes.”
In a statement about the attacks, President Joe Biden said, "Today, the people of Israel are under attack, orchestrated by a terrorist organization, Hamas." He continued, "At this moment of tragedy, I want to say to them and to the world and to terrorists everywhere: the United States stands with Israel and we will not ever fail to have their back."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement, "Hamas started a cruel and evil war. We will win this war, but the price will be heavy." He continued, "What happened today will not be seen in Israel, and I will make sure that it does not happen again. The entire government stands behind this decision. The IDF will immediately use all its power to disable Hamas' capabilities. We will beat them to death, we will take revenge on them for the black day they have inflicted on the State of Israel and its citizens."
