Israeli settlers flee after Hamas operation

While the infiltration operation launched by Hamas into Israel in the evening increased tension in the region, many Israelis in Jewish settlements fled the region.

There was great panic in the region as a result of hundreds of rockets fired from Gaza into Israeli territory. When Hamas militants entered Israeli territory, settlers living in the region attempted to escape to safety by driving or running.

The flight of many Israelis was also reflected on social networks.

Israeli media reported that some groups affiliated with Hamas’s armed wing, the Izzeddin Qassam Brigades, were seen on the streets of Israeli settlements near the blockaded Gaza Strip. According to Haaretz newspaper reports based on Israeli police, approximately 60 armed Palestinians are said to have entered 14 different Israeli regions. (AGENCIES)
