Hamas has launched one of its largest attacks on Israel in years.

The militant group began its offensive - which it named “Operation Al Aqsa Storm” - on Saturday with a barrage of missiles from Gaza followed by militants crossing the border.

In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared “we are at war” and launched “Operation Swords of Iron”.

Here is what we know so far about how the attack unfolded.

Israeli officials said around 2,500 rockets were fired, though Hamas’s military commander Mohammad Deif claimed the figure was double that.

          Yeah, I just support displacing people from their homes into a small patch of land that cannot sustain them, making a new government that doesn’t recognize them as human, and putting them under the control of that government. Please point out where I supported genocide, you just cannot.

      Look boys, genocide is back in vogue. Let’s party likes it 1939.

      Wait, what? Oh, this guy is just a dumb edgelord? Shit, nevermind, pack it up. Guess we aren’t killing every single man, woman, and child in Palestine today.
