The Guardian – Violence escalates as death toll surges to over 1,000 

The Guardian reports that more than 1,000 people have been killed in the violence that has erupted in Israel since Hamas launched its attack on Saturday.

“Violence escalates as death toll surges to over 1,000,” headlines the Guardian. It reports that the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has described the Hamas assault as an “indiscriminate terrorist attack”. 

The lead story also highlights Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s televised address telling people in Gaza to “get out of there now” but points out that those people “have no way to leave the tiny, overcrowded Mediterranean territory”.
