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.

    No, Israel does that. They just use dog whistles. But they ABSOLUTELY do that.

    11,000 Palestinians killed by Israelis since 2000. 1,500 Israelis killed by Palestinians. (Prior to current events)

    Actions speak too.

        I’m not your research assistant, but the book 100 Years War on Palestine can give you some much-needed perspective.
