Media outlets in Israel are reporting that Saturday's surprise attack by Palestinian militants killed at least 200 people. More than a thousand others have been treated for injuries.

Israeli forces are conducting retaliatory strikes on the Gaza Strip, where more than 230 Palestinians have died.

The Islamist group Hamas released a video of what it says was an attack on a border crossing checkpoint between Israel and Gaza. It's one of the Israeli military installations that was simultaneously targeted.

An unknown number of gunmen from the Gaza Strip breached border defenses and stormed into Israeli towns, randomly killing residents.
Israeli military officials say their troops continue to fight militants inside Israeli territory. They also said Hamas forces have captured soldiers and citizens.

The size and nature of the attacks are unprecedented. In addition to the cross border raids, more than 2,000 rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel and other areas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the attack a black day for Israel and its people. He said Israel's military will use all of its force to destroy the capabilities of Hamas. He said the war will take time, but Israel will win.

The Israeli air force is conducting raids against targets in the Gaza Strip. Two high-rise buildings hosting media outlets were destroyed by missile strikes.
Officials say the sites were being used as a Hamas base of operations. They say they gave evacuation warnings to occupants before the buildings were struck.
