“Israel and Gaza were on a war footing on Saturday after Palestinian militants fired thousands of rockets into southern and central Israel in a surprise morning attack that was among the biggest from Gaza in years,” the New York Times reports.
Washington Post: “Hamas militants infiltrated Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip — including by paraglider and over the sea — and launched more than 2,200 rockets… The confrontation, which has killed at least 20 Israelis and injured at least 545, is one of the most serious in years following weeks of rising tensions along the volatile border.”
Said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “We are at war.”
The Jerusalem Post and Haaretz have the latest.
