At least 150 people are reported killed and 1,100 wounded in Israel after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its biggest attack in years.

Dozens of gunmen from Gaza infiltrated southern Israeli communities after dawn under the cover of heavy rocket fire.

They have taken both Israeli soldiers and civilians hostage, and some have been brought back to Gaza.

Israel has responded with a wave of air strikes on Gaza that have killed 232 people and wounded 1,600, medics say.

Israel is attacked & we don't have:

Ambassador to Israel. Thanks to Rand Paul's COVID conspiracies.

Vital military appointments. Thanks to Tommy Tuberville's abortion obsession.

A Speaker. Thanks to Matt Gaetz's need for attention.

This has been going on for decades, I'm sure they will get the usual bottomless military aid.

First of all THIS has not been going on for decades.

Secondly, tough to fund aid when there is no speaker to put it on the floor.
