Fox News
The attack started at around 6:30 a.m. on a religious holiday and the Jewish Sabbath, seemingly to catch the Israelis unprepared, but the IDF announced that it would take immediate action.
Israeli media reported that at least 100 people have so far been killed in the wide-ranging assault, while Gaza health officials say that 198 Palestinians have died in Israeli air strikes made in response to the Hamas attack. Hospitals are treating at least 561 wounded people, including 77 who were in critical condition, the Associated Press reported based on public statements and calls to hospitals.
