A surprise assault unfolded on Saturday as Hamas launched a huge barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Simultaneously, Palestinian fighters initiated a ground raid into Israel from Gaza.
The Israeli military responded forcefully, hitting back against the attacks. Footage captured by a CGTN Stringer shows extensive damage from rocket fire in several areas, particularly from Khan Younis, where thick smoke was visible as rockets were fired.
In a statement, the Israeli military accused Hamas of orchestrating the attacks, stating that the Palestinian movement \\"will bear the results and responsibility for the events.\\"
