— This is a huge thing. By all accounts, it will lead to war between Israel and Hamas.
Rockets have been fired at Israel from several locations around Gaza early Saturday morning. Hamas states that it is about 5,000 rockets and Anders Persson says that an unusually large number of rockets were fired during a short period of around one hour.
Israel’s military is urging people to stay indoors and has warned during the morning that Hamas has infiltrated Israeli territory. According to Anders Persson, it is a huge blunder on Israel’s part that the security apparatus has not succeeded in stopping Hamas from entering.
