Over 100 Israelis have died and more than 900 were injured after rockets were fired from Gaza by Hamas militants, Israeli officials said Saturday.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said 198 were killed in Gaza and at least 1,610 were injured Saturday in retaliatory attacks from Israel.

“We are at war. We will win,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

The Israeli Defense Forces earlier declared “a state of alert for war,” according to a statement issued by the IDF.

“Over the past hour, the Hamas terrorist organization launched massive barrages of rockets from Gaza into Israel, and its terrorist operatives have infiltrated into Israel in a number of different locations in the south,” the IDF said early Saturday.

    Believe it or not, but the world isn’t simply comprised of goodies and baddies. We don’t live in a Marvel movie.

      His point is that if you want international support don’t go around murdering innocent people then parade their bodies around.

      He didn’t imply that Israel were the goodies. It’s more like both sides have people being baddies.

      Also, you have a lot of innocent on both sides. That’s why both sides get called out for being baddies as they are hurting innocents. There’s a good chance that Hamas even killed some folks who have never done anything but be sympathetic to the Palestinian plight.

      Terroristic is the right description, and can also be applied to some of Israel’s behavior towards Palestinians.
