The Start of a War: Recapping the Attacks on Israel This Past Weekend

Israel is at war for the first time in five decades after Hamas terrorists launched a well-coordinated attack on the country from the ground, from the sea and by air, beginning before sunrise on Saturday morning.

Decades of keeping the group at bay through small engagements and measured counterstrokes ended when the week-long Jewish holiday Sukkot concluded with the Israeli people being met by a barrage of thousands of rockets that killed civilians and military personnel.

Armed militants also crossed Israel’s borders from the Gaza Strip both on the ground and through the air.
