armed Palestinian group “HAMAS” unexpectedly attacked Israel ‘ so-called’ lands .

civilians as a kind of pressure , by the most savage way the humanity ever seen .

Hamas fighters have killed more than 800 israelis in assaults on multiple towns in southern Palestine . In
response , Israel has launched a bombing campaign in the Gaza strip , government media officers in Gaza
announced that : “ the number of martyrs as a result of the Israel aggression on the Gaza strip rose to 14,128
