22 people killed in militants’ attacks; Israel declares ‘war’

KATHMANDU, Oct 7: Nepal has joined the group of nations in condemning Saturday’s terrorist attack in Israel that left several dead and hundreds others including at least nine Nepali nationals injured. Reports said that a few other Nepali nationals working in Israel have been held hostage by the Hamas group that unleashed the attack on Saturday.

The recent attack by Hamas militants on Israel is being attributed to a "colossal failure" of Israels intelligence. Despite having strong military capabilities and advanced security measures, Israel was caught off guard by the attack. Experts suggest that Israels focus on countering Iran and neglecting its own backyard may have contributed to the intelligence failure.

In a video statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Netanyahu stated, "We are at war, not in an operation or in rounds, but at war. This morning, Hamas launched a murderous surprise attack against the State of Israel and its citizens. We have been in this since the early morning hours. I convened the heads of the security establishment and ordered, first of all, to clear out the communities that have been infiltrated by terrorists. This currently is being carried out."

While sharing the post on X, Israel Foreign Ministry stated, "The fighting in southern Israel is still ongoing. Our security forces are securing areas which are under attack by Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Israeli communities and who have taken civilians captive."

As Israel reels from a coordinated terror operation by Gaza-based Hamas that, by early accounts, has left dozens of civilians dead and wounded, it's unclear how the military may retaliate.

The attacks pushed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare the country is now at "at war'' in a televised address, where he announced a mass army mobilization.
