Guardian: Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel as Palestinian gunmen reported in south
"Unconfirmed initial reports and graphic pictures and video appeared to show that gunmen had opened fire in the border town of Sderot, killing several Israeli civilians and soldiers. One elderly woman was confirmed dead by medics in unclear circumstances, and another four people killed by rocket fire.
In a statement, Mohammad Deif, Hamas’ military commander in Gaza, announced the start of a new operation to free Jerusalem’s sensitive al-Aqsa mosque compound, which has seen an uptick in Jewish visitors in the last few weeks owing to the Jewish high holidays. He added that “this is only the first stage” of Hamas’ renewed efforts against Israel."
