    Gaza Strip/ Palestine : Israel was shocked when the weekend of Israelis was ruined by the Hamas fighters who surprisingly entered into Israel and killed dozens while took many as hostages.Israel Defense Forces counted the dead as much as 100 and 985 as wounded until the evening but later Israeli TV claimed 250 Israeli soldiers killed in attacks. The number of hostages could not be confirmed from any side.  Israeli retaliation in shape of heavy bombardment at Gaza Strip claimed more than 210 lives of the citizens including women, elderly and children. Thousands are severely wounded with no immediate medical aid because the strip is facing blockade by Israel since long.
    The IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that Israel’s security forces have gained control of part of the communities invaded by Hamas militants. “Hamas launched an offensive from the water, air and land,” Hagari said, adding that over 2,200 rockets were launched into Israel by Hamas.
    Israeli TV counts more than 250 Israeli soldiers dead, and more than 1100 Israeli soldiers and settlers were wounded many of them in dangerous situation, and dozens of prisoners from the Israeli army and settlers are in Palestinian freedom fighters hands.
    Most probably the Israeli sources are giving big number of deaths only to get support and show itself as victim only. Matter of fact is Israeli bombardment took lives of civilians as two big towers are also among the residential buildings hit by the Israeli air attacks.
    Palestine Health Ministry shares later in the night that 232 Palestinian martyrs and about 1697 Palestinians were injured as a result of the Israeli bombing of areas in the Gaza Strip in an Israeli retaliatory response against Palestinian civilians. Two buildings were destroyed by Israeli Aeroplanes in Gaza, one of it includes 100 apartments.
    Until 6 PM local time, Palestinian militants are still controlling a large area including communities and Israeli army outposts along the Gaza border.In some areas, militants are holding hostages inside their homes and other buildings, with fierce exchanges of fire taking place in front of them.Dozens of Palestinian militants were killed in exchanges of fire with the Israeli army. In many localities Israeli security forces have not yet regained control.
    President Mahmoud Abbas chaired an emergency leadership meeting that included a number of civilian and security officials.He directed the necessity of providing protection for our people, stressing the right of the Palestinian people to defend themselves against the terrorism of settlers and occupation forces, directing that everything necessary be provided in order to strengthen the steadfastness and steadfastness of our people in the face of crimes committed by the Israeli occupation and gangs.
    U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement condemning ‘terrorist attacks in Israel,’ saying that the president relayed to Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. stands ready “to offer all appropriate means of support to the Government and people of Israel.”
    “Terrorism is never justified. Israel has a right to defend itself and its people. The United States warns against any other party hostile to Israel seeking advantage in this situation. My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering,” the statement read.
    Biden added that he and his wife Jill were “keeping in our prayers all of the families who have been hurt by this violence. We are heartbroken by the lives that have been tragically cut short and hope for a swift recovery for all those who have been wounded.”

    President Biden has said nothing about the killings in Gaza Strip in Israeli raids on what Israel claims as Hamas camps but the bombardment was actually indiscriminate hitting most of civilians residential buildings.
    A senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei expresses support for an attack Hamas launched against Israel, calling it a “proud operation.”
    “We support the proud operation of Al-Aqsa Flood,” Yahya Rahim Safavi says at a meeting held in support of Palestinian children in Tehran, quoted by ISNA news agency.
    “We support this operation, and we are sure that the resistance front also supports this issue,” says Safavi, who is a senior general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
    Israeli Opposition Leader Yair Lapid calls for an “emergency government” to manage “the difficult and complex operation ahead of us” after more than 100 Israelis have been killed, close to 1,000 wounded and an unknown number of soldiers and civilians abducted by Hamas terrorists into Gaza.
    “The State of Israel is at war. It won’t be easy and it won’t be short. It has strategic consequences which we haven’t seen for many years. There is a serious risk that it will become a multi-front war,” Lapid says in an announcement.
    “A short while ago, I met with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I told him that in this emergency situation I’m willing to put aside our differences and form an emergency, narrow, professional government with him to manage the difficult and complex operation ahead of us.”
    Netanyahu, he says, “knows that with the current extreme and dysfunctional security cabinet, he can’t manage a war. Israel needs to be led by a professional, experienced, and responsible government. I have no doubt that former Defense Minister [Benny] Gantz would also join a government like this.”
    UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned Hamas’s surprise attack on southern and central Israel this morning.
    “The secretary-general is appalled by reports that civilians have been attacked and abducted from their own homes,” says a statement from his spokesperson.
    Guterres “is deeply concerned for the civilian population and urges maximum restraint. Civilians must be respected and protected in accordance with international humanitarian law at all times.”
    “The secretary-general urges all diplomatic efforts to avoid a wider conflagration,” the statement continues. “He stresses that violence cannot provide a solution to the conflict, and that only through negotiation leading to a two-state solution can peace be achieved.”
