An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed that there were “hostage situations” in the southern city of Ofakim and the nearby kibbutz of Beeri.

Hamas said it had taken “dozens” of Israeli soldiers hostage and moved them to the Gaza Strip as footage emerged appearing to show gunmen in military fatigues leading a group of mostly barefoot women down a street in Israel.

The announcement and video verified by NBC News came hours after Hamas launched a deadly land, air and sea attack and fired a huge barrage of rockets at Israel.

      That implies Israeli crimes are excusable.

      No, it doesn’t, but the fact you think it does says a lot about YOU.

      Rational, informed people condemn both sides here.

      Our projections only ever reveal about ourselves, and never about the person onto which we thought to project.
