A Devastating Attack by Hamas

The attacks by Hamas against Israel beginning early this morning, some of which are ongoing, will be met by Israel . How all of this will unfold, and its impact on domestic and global politics, is not clear, but a simple answer may suffice for now: It will not go well. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already warned his citizens that they are at war; civil reservists have been called up; videos are showing hand battles on the streets. The country is on lockdown,, with hundreds more wounded.
