This is nothing but a boon for the far-right on both sides of this conflict. Hamas has started a conflict to shore up their own "Us vs. Them" credentials, and Bibi's government is more than willing to accept the opportunity. God help the people caught in the middle.

MODERATORS
Bibi's government is happy this has happened. Basically the only option given to Palestinians is: die a slow death or go down fighting. This is not a "both sides" issue. Israel is fascist dump.
Hamas has started a conflict to shore up their own "Us vs. Them" credentials,
I mean they don't really need the help. They probably have a strategic goal somewhere.
There is absolutely nothing good that can come from this.
Only death. And the long-heated border dispute likely won't even end after one side is literally conquered.
"into Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip"
This is worded strangely. Are these towns in Israel or are they in the Gaza Strip? Based on the rest of the article, I assume in Gaza, especially with the hostages note that don't seem to be kidnapped people from elsewhere.
Wait, in fact, reading the article again, is this all entirely taking place in Gaza? There was no actual incursion into Israel?
But then it says "deadliest attack in Israel" and "were also taken captive and brought into Gaza". So I'm confused again.
Where the heck is this all happening? Because Israel and Gaza are two different places.
It was also originally an "Israeli Music Festival" held in an open field and "a rave next to the border in a desert near Kibbutz Re’im". Now it's towns. Are they both correct? Was this attack in multiple locations?
