At least 40 dead in Israel, more than 700 injured as Hamas militants launch thousands of rockets

Rockets have been fired from Gaza "across southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas militants."

Over 100 Israelis have died and more than 900 were injured after rockets were fired from Gaza by Hamas militants, Israeli officials said Saturday.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said 198 were killed in Gaza and at least 1,610 were injured Saturday in retaliatory attacks from Israel.

“We are at war. We will win,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

The Israeli Defense Forces earlier declared “a state of alert for war,” according to a statement issued by the IDF.

“Over the past hour, the Hamas terrorist organization launched massive barrages of rockets from Gaza into Israel, and its terrorist operatives have infiltrated into Israel in a number of different locations in the south,” the IDF said early Saturday.

    I saw one completely out of context today and the person didn’t provide a source even when asked. So I ask you again, can you source these?

      I don’t care if you don’t believe me, but if you took even 2 minutes of your own time searching Twitter, Reddit, or Funker, you’d see all of that, and a lot more. I’m good on watching any of those videos ever again.

      They’re literally being spammed across all of those feeds, so knock yourself out.

      Edit: After looking at your post history, I now understand that you’re afraid of even spending 2 minutes searching for the videos of these specific acts of terrorism/ war crimes: because it would directly conflict with your worldview.

        What is Funker?

        Edit: yeah, I did DuckDuckGo’d it in both English and Arabic when I first saw it. Accessing Twitter isn’t exactly easy now. The only place I saw it on was reddit with no source. Chances are it was too early before the Telegraph or whoever wrote on it. So, I’m so fucking sorry for asking you to cite yourself when you are on the internet.

        Hmmm, I wanted to ask, when you went through my profile, did you see all those comments about me not agreeing with Hamas, in between all the tech joke comments? Or did you just get a glimpse of me being Palestinian and threw your arms up and were like, of course this terrible person wants a source for this piece of information I claimed, it’s because they hate Israel!

        Like seriously, could you describe your process? The video of this woman personally horrified me this morning on Reddit like I said. No source, no one writing about it, long before any news of it hit. I wanted to know who she was and what on earth had happened wrong and why she is there and whether she’s alive or not and how she is involved (or not). I already dislike Hamas, they drag ‘traitors’ around on MCs. They aren’t exactly doing god’s work. So which part of me asking for a source led you to believe I’m somehow okay with this or unable to watch this because it will change my world view. What world view exactly?

        I think it’s lame to think that people asking for a source somehow are ready to pound on you and disagree.

        These videos are powerful and they can be powerful in the wrong way if used as disinformation and aren’t relative to the current thing at hand. That’s why I asked for a source.

        Also listing Hamas’ crimes does not in any way justify Israel’s actions that they take against civilians. Vice versa.
