UPDATE…
At least 700 Israelis have been murdered and at least 1,000 left wounded by an invasion by hundreds of Palestinian terrorists from Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Most of the Israeli casualties are civilians, including many women and children.
More than 30 Israelis have also been taken hostage and dragged back into Gaza by the terrorists. Jewish women, children, and the elderly are also among the hostages, as well as U.S. citizens.

Along Israel’s northern border, Iranian-backed Hezbollah also joined the war, firing dozens of rockets and shells into Israel. But that battlefront appears to have subsided as Israel focuses heavily on Gaza which is the headquarters of the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist group.
