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.

He added that “this is only the first stage” of Hamas’ renewed efforts against Israel."
