Israel was taken by surprise by the most ambitious operation Hamas has ever launched from Gaza.

The scale of what's been happening is unprecedented. Hamas breached the wire that separates Gaza from Israel in multiple places in the most serious cross-border attack Israel has faced in more than a generation.

It came a day after the 50th anniversary of the surprise attack by Egypt and Syria in 1973 that started a major Middle East war. The significance of the date will not have been lost on the Hamas leadership.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country is at war and will exact a heavy price from its enemies.

Videos and photos of dead Israelis, civilians as well as soldiers, are all over social media.

    Your source mentions internal patriarchal control on the same level as the Israeli occupation. Almost like you just ignore evidence that yea, Sunni Muslim populations who welcome Shar'ia law don't provide good lives for women by definition.

    You also ignored my question about what Hamas would do to Israel if they had more weapons / power.

    You're the one confusing Palestine and Hamas. Israel is attacking the Gaza strip which is run by Hamas.

            and you learned nothing. And you refused to engage with or acknowledge any information that complicates your opinion that Palestine = innocent victim. You won't admit out loud that Palestinians refused to live in peace with Israel, just as Israel has refused to live in peace with Palestine.

            I wonder which of us is arriving at an informed worldview, and which of us is DunningKrugering around the internet name-calling.
