Hamas attacks, Israel declares war
After Hamas launched thousands of rockets, broke through the Israeli border and took hostages in southern towns in a surprise attack on Saturday, Israel has retaliated with its own missile strikes and declared war.\n\nNow, Hamas has threatened to execute an Israeli captive for every unannounced strike on civilians, and Israel says it will block food, water and fuel from entering Gaza in a \u201ccomplete siege.\u201d\n\nAs Israeli troops amass near Gaza, what could come next? Shayndi Raice is the Wall Street Journal\u2019s deputy bureau chief for the Middle East and North Africa, and she\u2019s based in Tel Aviv.\n\n\nAn earlier version of this episode stated Hamas paragliders landed at the center of an Israeli music festival before opening fire. As CBC has not independently verified the involvement of paragliders in shootings at the festival, the reference has been removed.
