Saturday's surprise attack by Hamas on Israel was something that should have been expected.
This after the militant group launched a wave of rocket attacks and sent fighters into Israel in the biggest escalation in decades.
The violence continued in the evening with Tel Aviv and other central Israeli cities hit by a new barrage of rockets with more than 300 Israelis reportedly dead.“I think the fact of such a response from the Palestinian side to almost eight decades of occupation, and oppression is something that we should all have expected. When it might happen and exactly how, of course, was the surprise yesterday.
