"Escalating Violence: Rockets Injure Near Jerusalem, IDF Retaliates with 'Siege of Gaza'"

Fresh rocket strikes from Hamas pounded Israeli communities, causing casualties, as the Israel Defense Forces launched counterstrikes in Gaza. The death toll from the Hamas attack rose above 900, with over a hundred people abducted and taken into Gaza. Hamas threatened to execute hostages in response to Israeli strikes without warnings. The IDF's Home Front Command instructed Israelis to prepare for war, while Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered a "complete siege" of Gaza. Energy Minister Israel Katz cut off water supply to Gaza, and the IDF launched massive airstrikes targeting Hamas sites. Clashes were reported near the Gaza border, and tensions also escalated on Israel's northern border with Lebanon.
