Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared "we are at war" after Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise rocket attack from Gaza. Hundreds of rockets targeted Israel in the morning assault described by Netanyahu as "murderous." He convened security heads, ordered military reserves mobilized and pledged a retaliatory war with unprecedented strength against Hamas. Netanyahu stated Israel will cleanse infiltrators and make the enemy pay a never-before-seen price. He called on citizens to strictly follow army directives amid the escalating conflict. The dramatic statement signals Israel's intent for a powerful military response to Hamas' major offensive.
