STORYLINE:
The effects of Hamas unprecedented attack on Israel were seen on the streets of Tel Aviv on Sunday morning, with various apartment buildings showing serious damage from rocket fire.
“What happened yesterday hasn't happened for a long time," said Tel Aviv resident and reservist Aviel Haim.
"We need to know how to deal with it, and what to do and act correctly."
Fighting still raged more than 24 hours after a surprise attack from Gaza, in which Hamas fighters, backed by a volley of thousands of rockets, broke through Israel's security barrier and rampaged through nearby communities.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country was at war and would exact a heavy price from its enemies.
Hamas leaders said they were prepared for further escalation.
Israeli media, citing rescue service officials, said at least 300 people were killed, including 26 soldiers, while in Gaza officials said 313 people had died.
Previous conflicts between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers brought widespread destruction in Gaza and days of rocket fire on Israeli towns.
The situation is potentially more volatile now, with Israel’s far-right government stung by the unprecedented security breach and Palestinians in despair over a never-ending occupation in the West Bank and suffocating blockade of Gaza.
Hamas said that overnight it had continued to send forces and equipment into “a number of locations inside our occupied territories,” referring to Israel.
The surprise attack Saturday was the deadliest on Israel in decades.
