The Israeli Defense Force has declared they are in "a state of war" after over eight hundred rockets were fired into Israel today. Fighters from HAMAS para-glided into southern Israel using fan gliders to cross over the border, landing and killing everyone they see! Today's "state of war" declaration has not happened since 1973.
Numerous Israeli civilians are already dead, some shot dead just standing in Bus Stops; many more are injured.
At about 1:17 AM EDT Saturday, the Israeli Defense Force made a public declaration that this is a "State of War."
The last time Israel announced a "State of War" was in 1973. And the first time Israel was surprised by an attack like today's was in 1973.
Air Raid Sirens are blaring throughout Israel as the Iron Dome air defense systems engage more incoming missiles.
This is taking place NOW. Live updates to appear below . . .

Gaza will either be turned to glass or Israel is going to move in. Either way, this may be what unites all Muslims which will draw in Hezbollah and eventually Iran. Worst case scenario, but this is some real tangible escalating doom. One Intelligence source with whom I worked in years past just told me "GAZA is about to become the world's biggest graveyard; and they have no one to blame but themselves.")

-- SAUDIS HOLD ISRAEL RESPONSIBLE FOR WAR;
An official statement from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia holds Israel responsible for what has transpired due to its repeated provocations and deprivation of the rights of Palestinians.”
This shatters any hope for a swift resolution to the conflict. It alters the landscape concerning the Abraham Accords and the normalization of relations.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that, according to preliminary data, 161 people were killed and 931 were injured in Palestine.
At least 40 Israelis are confirmed dead, with 750 injured. These numbers will certainly increase as the war escalates.
Israeli army spokesman: “We continue to call up reserve forces on a large scale. We call for shelters in towns near the Gaza border due to the presence of armed men there. We continue to call up reserve forces on a large scale and are fighting a fierce war.”

***** BULLETIN *****
Biden warns any other hostile party from trying to take advantage of the situation and open another front against Israel
Russia Issues Formal Statement
Russia is gravely concerned over a sharp escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In this regard we would like to reaffirm our principled and consistent stance that this conflict, which has continued for 75 years, cannot be resolved by force
and can be settled exclusively by political and diplomatic means, by engaging in a full-fledged negotiation process based on the well-known international legal framework
stipulating the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with a capital in East Jerusalem that co-exists with Israel in peace and security.
We regard the current large-scale escalation as another extremely dangerous manifestation of a vicious circle of violence resulting from chronic failure to comply with the corresponding resolutions of the UN and its Security Council and the blocking by the West of the work of the Middle East Quartet of international mediators made up of Russia, the United States, the EU and the UN.
We call on the Palestinian and Israeli sides to implement an immediate ceasefire, renounce violence, exercise restraint and begin, with the assistance of the international community,
a negotiation process aimed at establishing a comprehensive, lasting and long-awaited peace in the Middle East.
(Hal Turner Remark: That part about ". . . . . "stipulating the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with a capital in East Jerusalem that co-exists with Israel in peace and security." just never goes away. In 75 years, it has never gone away. Funny how the facts always come back . . . . no matter who denies reality or for how long. It always comes back.)

232 PALESTINIANS KILLED IN ISRAELI AIR STRIKES IN GAZA
"AT LEAST" 200 ISRAELIS KILLED TODAY
The amount of Israelis killed today exceeds the amount killed in the 2006 war with Hezbollah, which lasted 33 days
Today marks the largest loss of Israeli lives in a single day since the Yom Kippur war against Egypt in 1973
BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu proposes formation of emergency wartime government with Gantz and Lapid
While calculating casualties in an ongoing conflict is very hard, We can make a few educated guesses here from the raw numbers provided to us from both sides. Palestinian and Israeli casualties are similar in scale. The death range is from 200-240, and the wounded range is from 1200-1600 for both sides. In only a few hours of fighting, these numbers are horrific.

(Hal Turner Remark: Folks, this is going downhill so fast, it is hard to verbally quantify. There is SO MUCH going on behind the scenes, politically and militarily, and ALL OF IT is bad and getting much worse. All sides in this are intractable. No one is giving an inch. The moves being made behind the scenes, and the moves being SPOKEN ABOUT in the corridors of power in Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Russia, and the United States, are unfathomable. Horrifying. This is all going so fast, it's like an out of control train careening toward destruction of everything. The short and sweet of it: They are now talking about possible Tactical nuclear strikes to vaporize the entire Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and are also talking about Strategic nuclear attacks upon Tehran, Iran, and Damascus, Syria. These are ACTUAL discussions taking place - in the context of what is to be done if Israel finds itself being over-run and losing.)
Prominent Israeli settler activists and members of Ben Gvir and Smotrich party in the occupied West Bank are calling on the Israeli army to nuke Gaza and kill children and women ! https://t.co/dQRZ7Bjh6I

HOW MANY TIMES . . . .
Have I told you, on this website and on my radio show, the people in our FedGov are "incompetent?" In particular, how many times have I ripped National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan for being an ignorant, pencil-necked Geek? You guys know . . . . C'mon . . . tell me . . . . how many times have I said these things?
Here. Look. Today is October 7. On September 29, just EIGHT DAYS AGO, Jake Sullivan publicly told everyone "“The Middle East is calmer now than it has been in 20 years”
🇺🇸🤡 “The Middle East is calmer now than it has been in 20 years”

This is what I mean when I tell you, they don't know what they're talking about. This is concrete proof, they are so out of touch with reality as to be delusional.
CENSORSHIP ENGAGED!
Breaking News: TikTok has removed all Israel videos and only mainstream news stations videos remain. It's clear they need to 'control' the narrative. That speaks volumes!
Want to know why they're clamping down like an iron fist? Here. Look. It's already out in public:
BIDEN AND NETANYAHU ARE PREPARING TO USE TACTICAL NUKES. PREPARE FOR ANYTHING. THIS WILL BE THE MOST GROTESQUE RESPONSE IN US HISTORY. BANKS TO ZERO 🏦
