A few hours ago, at 17:00, Hamas launched a massive rocket attack on the Israeli city of Ashkelon, and in a new report, militants of the Palestinian organization say that they will continue shelling until the city is razed to the ground.
Israel’s air defense actively uses the “iron dome” system, but Hamas seems to have found the threshold level of “overload” of this system and every 4-5 minutes carries out massive attacks, during which 6 waves have already been inflicted so far. More than 200 rockets have already been fired by Palestinians from Gaza, and the sirens in Ashkelon do not stop.

Hamas al-Qassam issued a warning to residents of Ashkelon at 17:00.
Let us recall that Hamas warned residents of the Israeli city of Ashkelon to leave until 17:00 today (10/10) and struck at exactly 17:00.
“We are responding to the enemy’s crime of displacing our people and forcing them to leave their homes in various areas of the Gaza Strip. We give the residents of the occupied city of Ashkelon until 17:00 today to leave, the Al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement. in social networks. – We will execute one hostage for every Israeli airstrike.”
Hamas’s armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, threatened on Monday that it would henceforth execute captured Israeli civilians in response to any new Israeli bombing of homes in Gaza without warning. Brigade spokesman Abu Obeida said it was operating in accordance with Islamic injunctions, keeping Israeli prisoners safe and sound, Reuters reported. At the same time, he accused Israel of possible executions.
Сектор Газа снабжали деньгами десятилетиями и Европа, и Израиль. На что же шли эти деньги? На поддержку бизнеса, на строительство больниц и школ, да ка бы ни так, на строительство подземных тоннелей в которых ХАМАС хранит свои ракеты. Закупал оружие ХАМАС тоже на эти деньги. pic.twitter.com/IsaSqZDyVd

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on opposition parties to join a unity government, as they did 50 years ago during the Yom Kippur War. He said the future of the nation was at stake in the war against Hamas.
“The atrocities committed by Hamas have not been seen since the atrocities of ISIS. Children were tied up and executed along with their family members, young girls and boys were shot in the back. Other horrors that I will not describe here… We always knew what Hamas was. Now the whole world knows. Hamas is ISIS. And we will win in the same way that the enlightened world defeated ISIS. Hamas wanted war, it will get it,” Netanyahu said in his address to the people of Israel.
