London. The Jewish state announced ‘Operation Iron Swords’ to counter a major attack on Israel that began on Saturday morning under the Palestinian armed group Hamas’ ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’. This is the most serious conflict since the 11-day war between Israel and Hamas in 2021.

Hamas said it had fired 5,000 rockets, while Israel confirmed the group’s fighters had entered its territory. Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the group attacked by land, sea and air.

The Israeli army also said it had launched “Operation Iron Swords” against the Hamas group in the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported. Rockets were fired as far north as Tel Aviv. Al Jazeera reported that Hamas fighters crossed the border into southern Israel.

Israeli media said gunmen opened fire on pedestrians in the city of Sderot, and footage circulating on social media showed gunmen on city streets and in jeeps driving through the countryside. A report claims that Hamas fighters have taken over several Israeli areas, where residents are begging their government for help.
