Israel confirms soldiers and civilians taken hostage by Palestinian militants – BBC News
At least 150 people are reported killed and 1,100 wounded in Israel after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its biggest attack in years.
Dozens of gunmen from Gaza infiltrated southern Israeli communities after dawn under the cover of heavy rocket fire.
They have taken both Israeli soldiers and civilians hostage, and some have been brought back to Gaza.
Israel has responded with a wave of air strikes on Gaza that have killed at least 232 people and wounded 1,600, the Palestinian health ministry said.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Today these non-Muslim rioters of Satan harm good people and begin to think they are above all rules, laws, and justice because a wise nation America can help them commit genocide. The American people do not support the Jewish development of humanity, but Biden has tarnished the government, if it is confirmed, they will pay the price in a certain collapse.
On the other hand, the general Jewish people protested to demand an end to the war.
Location is in location.
Palestine has the right to an independent state if the Jews are free to express themselves.

This killing does not make Israel safe. Netanyahu’s impudent policy pushes us towards the airports, and I tell me the soldiers to retreat. He pushes you to die and his children abroad.

BBC, I am pretty sure the Israeli citizens and soldiers kidnapped themselves to Gaza and some beheaded themselves too. A few children and babies set themselves on fire just so the Palestinians would look bad.
The Palestinians are not to blame. Ever.

Palestine doesn’t exist anymore after the birth of Israel! “Occupied territories” are also parts of Israel and that’s where Hamas were formed and are in hiding. Israel is fighting against domestic terrorism which kills thousands of Jews. The death in occupied territories as a result of Israeli attacks are Hamas fault as they use them as humans shield for hiding

Kudos to Russia, as well as kudos to the greatest leader of all time, Putin.
Whereas, the Arab Muslim world will support the Palestinians. But they do not open their mouths against Israel. Therefore, to be a leader, you have to be a leader like Putin. Let Palestine and Putin win.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus said to Thomas, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me". There is only one way to heaven. That Way is Jesus and his word of truth. No other can grant us eternal life.

I would support Palestine in this conflict, if not a fact that Hamas is a religious, Islamic organization, not a neutral, nationalistic one, so they're no better than the Israelis. Either way, my condolences goes out to civilians on both sides of this conflict.

Guys, you need to understand what happened. Last Saturday, The hamas terror organization, came into Israel with huge amount of hot weapon , took over cities and villages, and slaughtered over 1300 people. They massacared them . They gang raped, the tortured people infront of their kids, the burnt kids alive, they burnt families alive, they cut babies heads while laughing and eating. They took innocent women, elders, kids and babies to Gaza as hostages. The people of Gaza were celebrating the attacks. The horror is inhuman. Israel went through a second holocaust. Just because these monsters want them dead.
Enough is enough.
