Security forces in southern Israel have moved to a war footing to combat a surprise attack launched by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. A barrage of rocket fire from Gaza into Israeli territory began just after dawn, with explosions on the streets of Ashkelon and Tel Aviv. Gunmen on the loose in the town of Sderot have opened fire on civilians. Unverified Palestinian reports say militants have attacked Israeli military vehicles and kidnapped several Israelis. The Â鶹Éç’s Rushi Abualouf says this escalation is significant, and many in Gaza are now concerned how Israel will respond. Photo: Smoke rises following Israeli strikes in Gaza Credit: Reuters
