As the rocket bombing continues, reports indicate that there is a state of panic among residents in Tel Aviv.

Hebrew media reported this evening, Saturday, that the number of casualties has risen due to the attack carried out by Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza since this morning in the surrounding settlements.

The Hebrew news site Ma'ariv Levnon reported that the number of casualties from the Hamas fighters' attack on the settlements and army sites in the Gaza envelope has risen to more than 200 killed, with sources talking about 250 killed and 1100 injured.

For his part, a correspondent for Channel 14 said that the number of casualties and rockets since this morning is greater than all those killed and more than the rockets fired in the Second Lebanon War, during 33 days of fighting.

For its part, the Likud Party announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Gantz and Lapid to join an expanded emergency government, in the same format that the late opposition leader Menachem Begin joined the Ashkol government on the eve of the Six-Day War.
