'We are at war' says Israel's PM Netanyahu after Hamas missile attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday (October 7) said that the country was /”at war,/” hours after the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched the biggest terrorist attack on Israel in years in a surprise assault that combined gunmen crossing into several Israeli towns with a heavy barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.

As warning sirens wailed across southern and central Israel, including in Jerusalem, Israel’s military said it was on a war footing and the defence minister said the Iran-backed Hamas had made a /”grave mistake/” by declaring war on Israel.

The Israeli military said it had launched air strikes into Gaza, where witnesses reported hearing heavy explosions.
