New Delhi, Oct 08 (ANI): Islamist group Hamas carried out a multi-front attack on Israel on October 07. Rockets struck southern, central Israel after Hamas launched a surprise attack. At least 250 Israelis lost their lives and severe bombing in the region left over 900 people injured. A former Israel Defence Forces spokesperson called rocket strikes by Hamas on Israel a "tremendous failure" of Israeli defence establishment. Israel has already declared a state of war in the country after infiltration by Hamas fighters and missile attacks from Gaza. Israel responded with massive air strikes deep inside the coastal enclave, killing scores and wounding hundreds. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed vengeance and said that Israel will turn Hamas into “rubble”.
