Sharp escalation of the situation is going on in the Middle East. The major attack on Israel for 16 years has been carried out. Since morning the territory is under massive missile fire from the group Hamas. According to reports, at least 100 people have been killed and more than 900 injured in Israel. From the Gaza Strip there are reports of 160 dead and over a thousand injured.
Israel announced an emergency call-up of reservists and launched a "counter-terrorism" operation. Dozens of fighter jets flew to Hamas targets. Experts do not rule out - Israel will introduce ground troops into the Gaza Strip.
At 7 a.m. local time, sirens howled across Israel. The military wing of Hamas attacked Israeli cities with thousands of missiles, and armed groups infiltrating Israeli territory, entered villages and towns in the south shooting up homes, taking local residents prisoner.
The invasion has taken the Israeli security services and military by surprise.
This is repeat of the situation 50 years ago, when the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, known as the Doomsday War, broke out. The timing of Hamas's attack was no coincidence. And precisely now, when the Israeli state is in crisis.
