Hundreds killed on both sides

Since the attacks on Israel from Gaza began on Saturday, more than 500 Israelis have been killed, local media report - a total that has risen steadily in the past 24 hours.

In the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health said 313 people had been killed by Israeli air strikes, with almost 2,000 wounded.

US Navy moves carrier strike group to eastern Mediterranean Sea with Israel at war

A US Navy carrier strike group is headed to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, according to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, as Israel prepares for a large-scale campaign against Hamas in Gaza.

The USS Gerald R. Ford, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was sailing with the Italian Navy earlier this week, according to the ship’s social media, putting it close to Israel.

The carrier will be accompanied by guided missile destroyers and guided missile cruisers, which are two other classes of Navy warship.

The US is also taking steps to bolster its presence of fighter jets in the region, including F-35, F-15, F-16 and A-10 squadrons. It sent several of these aircraft to the Middle East in recent months in response to aggression from Iranian forces across the region, including in Syria and in the Gulf of Oman.

Why it matters: The strike group’s presence is intended as a deterrent to Hezbollah in Lebanon and other militant groups aligned against Israel, the officials said.

US President Joe Biden warned Saturday that “this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage.”

Remember: Hamas, like Hezbollah, has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union and Israel.

Israel accuses its archenemy Iran of backing Hamas.

An official in US President Joe Biden's administration said Saturday that it's not yet clear whether Iran played a direct role in this weekend's attacks on Israel, but that there is no question Hamas is funded, equipped and armed by Iran.

Mass slaughter:

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-67037895

Rescuers say they've found more than 250 bodies at the site of an Israeli music festival attacked by Hamas militants in an unprecedented assault on Saturday

The Israeli military says at least 700 people died in the attacks overall, more than 2,000 were injured, and that a number of hostages are being held in Gaza

Retaliatory Israeli air strikes have killed at least 413 people in the Gaza Strip, with 2,300 wounded, according to the latest update from Palestinian officials

Yes.

Our cockwomble of a Defence correspondent, yawning Bbwian, is silent on the Hamas attack and Israeli response on his personal sand pit Defence forum. Not even an ABC headline, no tsk, tsk, no eyerolling, nothing. He's dozing in front of Ripping Yarns.

Images of bloodied, terrified Israeli women being dragged away cut deep. Seizing female captives appears to have been prioritised by the rampaging Islamist militants. Dozens of women, including active duty Israel Defence Forces personnel, number among the missing who are presumed to have been taken to Gaza to serve as human shields for Hamas or bargaining chips in potential prisoner swaps.

In one confronting video shared widely on social media, a young Israeli woman wearing military-style camo pants and T-shirt was seen to be hauled by her hair from a commandeered IDF vehicle.

Reportedly a captured soldier, she cut a forlorn figure, barefoot and drenched in blood, her wrists cabled-tied behind her back.

Her captors shouted “Allahu Akbar” before they bundled her into a rear seat and sped off. Her fate remains unknown.

A rave party near Kibbutz Re’im, close to the Gaza Strip 90 minutes’ drive from Jerusalem, was attacked from two directions by tightly co-ordinated teams of gunmen who fired indiscriminately into the revellers.

Most of the Hamas fighters had retreated back to Gaza by nightfall, where they received a hero’s welcome from jubilant crowds.

Watch them bleat when Israel fights back.

They learnt that from the Israelis

But the idiots refuse to learn anything else, like how to make a flourishing, advanced country out of nothing but the effort of the people.

If Muslims could learn THAT, they would not be as ****ed as they are everywhere.

You might have a point except Israel has been blockading Gaza for decades, preventing the Palestinians any opportunities to thrive.

What does that mean?

Exactly what it says

How does Israel stop Gaza trading with Egypt?

Israel has had blockades around Gaza since 2007.

Is that supposed to be an answer to my question, or just more dribble from John Smith?

Pull your head out of your arse and figure it out for yourself

I don't think it would be possible for Israel to stop Egypt trading with them. I think that as usual, you are full of BS.

Sure, they can order all the dates they require from Egypt. Cheesy

Do you think Israel has had blockades around Gaza for almost 20 yrs because they're eunuchs?

I told you what I think. I think you are a liar.

That also means that their sewerage systems won't work either - there will be nowhere to take a dump. What the hell are the Pallys going to do? How were they ever going to win anything under such circumstances?

Oh, dearie, dearie, me, what are you doing? Labeling without any evidence? I do not support Hamas or the pro-Iranian mob in Lebanon. Nor do I support the way Israel has been occupying the Occupied West Bank. I believe a third way is possible but neither the extremist Palestinians or the extremist Israelis believe that is possible. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
