Rockets have been fired from Gaza "across southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas militants."

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.

      Israel has been eliminating Palestine for decades

      Both sides have been trying to “eliminate” each other for decades. It’s just Israel is winning.

      and tiny Palestine is the big bad guy here, according to you?

      It generally makes no sense to talk about “good” or “bad” in international politics.

      But let’s look at it from this way: There is no possibility of a Palestinian victory by military means and there hasn’t been in a long time. Yet, everytime there was peace process it get’s rejected by Palestine and they cling to their demand of the total destruction if Israel.

      At this point fighting Israel is just fighting for the sake of fighting, inflicting suffering on Israel and martyrdom.

      Israel isn’t going anywhere. So in a realistic sense it’s on Palestine to come to the negotiation table and settle for peace (and yes, the condition are now much worse then in 1993). Or they can choose to fight a lost cause … to the death.

        Look at anither way. England gave half of Palestine to their enemies…why should Palestine have agreed to any of this in the first place? Oh that’s right they didn’t and this was shoved down their throats. Some would say illegally.

        Palestine basically paid for what the Germans did to the Jews.
