Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country was “at war” on Saturday after a major surprise attack by Hamas militants. This morning Hamas launched a surprise murderous attack against the State of Israel and its citizens,” he said in a video address.
“We are at war, not an operation, not rounds, but at war. This morning, Hamas opened a murderous surprise attack against the state of Israel and its citizens. We’ve been in it since early morning. I convened heads of security, and first of all to clear out the communities that have been infiltrated by terrorists. This currently is being carried out.
At the same time, I have ordered an extensive mobilization of reserves and that we return fire of a magnitude that the enemy has not known. In the meantime, I call on all citizens of Israel to strictly obey the instructions of the army and the instructions of the Home Command. We are in a war and we will win it,” says Israeli PM Netanyahu.
