Israel was taken by surprise by the most ambitious operation Hamas has ever launched from Gaza.

The scale of what's been happening is unprecedented. Hamas breached the wire that separates Gaza from Israel in multiple places in the most serious cross-border attack Israel has faced in more than a generation.

It came a day after the 50th anniversary of the surprise attack by Egypt and Syria in 1973 that started a major Middle East war. The significance of the date will not have been lost on the Hamas leadership.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country is at war and will exact a heavy price from its enemies.

Videos and photos of dead Israelis, civilians as well as soldiers, are all over social media.

Is there going to be another war or should this just be considered a small scale attack?

Naw just more scratching and clawing from a desperate animal being slowly choked to death and driven into the sea.

More bombing and annexing to be expected.

Right, this was never a “war”, just atrocities and genocide.

If it's a genocide then they're not doing a very good job considering that Gaza has an annual population growth of 3%.

It turns out when your sequestered into a small space, and concentrated together with the much stronger power controlling both the supply of food, and even your electricity, you sometimes have very little else to do.
