Death toll mounts in Israel and Gaza <!– PLACE THIS SCRIPT INTO THE DOCUMENT HEAD –> <!– END OF HEAD CODE – > <!– PLACE THIS BLOCK INTO THE DOCUMENT BODY –> <!– END OF BODY CODE –>
More than 600 people were killed in Israel after Hamas fired thousands of missiles and sent gunmen through the security barrier into the country's south, local media reported. The latest official number was at least 250 killed.
Israeli forces said they were still fighting to regain control of eight areas of the country's territory from Hamas militants early Sunday.
Retaliatory bombardment, including by Israeli fighter jets, killed at least 370 people in Gaza, the Palestinian health ministry said. Some 20 children were killed and nearly 2,000 injured, it added.
Those death tolls were expected to rise significantly as Israel, stunned from a violent incursion of its territory not seen since the state's earliest days, took stock and vowed to take "mighty vengeance."
Netanyahu said that "the enemy will pay a price it has never known before," warning Palestinians in Gaza to leave immediately. Israel's security cabinet had formally approved a "war situation," the government announced.
The 2.3 million residents of the tiny coastal enclave have long been blockaded and closed off by a security fence. Israel has now also begun cutting off energy supplies and the flow of goods to the densely populated strip of land.
Hamas claimed it was taking revenge for a series of recent actions by Israel at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque and in the West Bank, where residents have reported rising settler attacks for which Palestinians blame Israel's right-wing government.
The assault follows a period of heavy fighting in the West Bank, where nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military raids this year, according to U.N. Mideast Envoy Tor Wennesland. Israel says the raids are aimed at militants, but stone-throwing protesters and people uninvolved in the violence have also been killed.
Palestinian attacks on Israeli targets have killed over 30 people so far in 2023, Wennesland said in an August briefing to the U.N. Security Council.
Analysts warned that this weekend's outbreak of warfare would not be short-lived.
Efraim Inbar, president of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, a conservative think tank, said he expected a full-scale invasion of Gaza would follow, with the explicit goal of removing Hamas from power.
“If I read correctly what the prime minister said and if I read correctly the rage amongst the people, then we [will] have a war, which means land invasion, use of air force and everything we have at our disposal, to get the Hamas leadership,” he told NBC News by phone.
