'We are at war': Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu makes statement on Hamas attack

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the country was 'at war,' hours after the Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise assault with gunmen crossing into several Israeli towns and a heavy barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu said the evacuation of some areas was being carried out and he had ordered the mobilisation of reservists. He said the 'enemy' would pay 'an unprecedented price'.

"not an operation, but a war" I see what he did there

[dprintwiz]

In his statement, I feel like he is saying " We will turn Gaza back in to a desert!" He even looks happy announcing it.

Doesn't sound like a war of conquest.
It sounds like war of annihilation.

You got to have some big balls to attack your neighbor even though they have a modern military AND nukes. Imagine if Mexico launched a surprise attack on the US, this is how crazy it is.

[robjuhasz]

I’m guessing this will not end well for Hamas.

[ccbc]

He looks like someone whose plan is going as intended.

Pray for both countries peace innocent people loosing there valuable lifes

[mrjaws]

Crazy to think this is a moment in history

[vishals]

This attack is very well planned, something big is behind this attack not the one you are looking.

My heart feels and cries for those families murdered in cold blood.

He seems quite happy..poor Israeli citizens. This guy will make everything worse and probably has some hand in it!

[makeachaininthecommentsect]

In the end, civilians are the ones to pay the price. Apparently we learned nothing from the past and Ukraine. Pray for peace guys ✌️🕊

[fredericosampaio]

I don't know this language but he sounds kindly happy saying this

[nkbd]

whys he reading it off a piece of paper though cant he just say his actual thoughts can't be that difficult

[terranu]

Why he looks so happy as if he planned it himself

[tgbever]

War On War Only produces more division. Praying for the families tht lost loved ones. We gotta do better as people💯😔

[billionabil]

Seems pretty routine for him as if he’s giving a quick run down off todays events

[digital_shitfest]

My hopes of one day getting older and having a family are slowly fading away. Who knows what's going to happen by next year? Will there be a next year?

[lrl]

It’s going to be a rather one sided war then

I hope Biden enjoys his nap today. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps.
