Palestinians Celebrate Destroyed Israel-Gaza Border Fence | VOA News

Palestinians, some carrying guns, celebrated on top of a destroyed tank said to belong to the Israeli army hours after Hamas launched its biggest attack on Israel in years Saturday, October 7.

Gunshots were heard in the distance as a bulldozer broke through a portion of the fence.

The surprise assault by Hamas on Saturday saw gunmen crossing the border with a heavy barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.

As warning sirens sounded across southern and central Israel, including in Jerusalem, Israel's military said it was on a war footing as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an emergency meeting of security officials.

Saturday's incident marked an unprecedented infiltration by Hamas gunmen into Israel from Gaza, and was the most serious escalation since Israel and Hamas fought a 10-day war in 2021. #Israel #Gaza #reels #videography #voanews
