GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, Oct 7 — Palestinian militants have begun a “war” against Israel, the country’s defence minister said today after a barrage of rockets were fired and fighters from the Palestinian enclave infiltrated Israel, a major escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Air raid sirens wailed across southern and central Israel, and the army urged people to stay near bomb shelters.journalists in Jerusalem heard multiple rockets being intercepted by Israeli air defence systems. Sirens blared across the city on more occasions than in any Gaza conflict in the past three years.
Israel’s military said Hamas launched “massive shooting of rockets”, while at the same time “terrorists infiltrated into Israeli territory in a number of different locations”.In Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, some Palestinian residents cheered and blew their car horns as sirens blared. The United States condemned the Hamas fire and urged “all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks.”
Resuming workers’ passage on September 28 had raised hopes of calming the situation in impoverished Gaza, home to 2.3 million people.
