    The Israeli Defense Force launched Operation "Iron Swords" on Saturday after declaring a state of war in response to widespread Palestinian terrorist attacks over the weekend that left numerous Israeli citizens dead or injured.

    The attacks were carried out by Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic terrorist group that is funded in-part by Iran, during the holiday of Simchat Torah and on Shabbat - the Jewish day of rest that is observed by many in Israel.

    "In response to the barrages of rockets launched by Hamas from Gaza at Israel, the IDF is currently striking Hamas targets in Gaza," Israel's military said in a statement.

    The IDF described Operation Iron Swords as a "large-scale operation."

    Israel said that it was calling up reservists to fight in the war. The IDF, armed with advanced weaponry, has nearly 170,000 active-duty soldiers and nearly half a million reservists, making it "the Middle East's most formidable force," The Wall Street Journal reports.

    A Hamas terrorist official said that over 5,000 rockets had been fired into Israel while the IDF appeared to dispute that figure, suggesting that it was closer to 2,500.

    "Hamas now controls several population centers in southern Israel," a local Israeli journalist said on Channel 12, according to a top former Israeli official. "I can't believe I'm saying this. The residents are begging for help."

    The Islamic terrorists invaded Israel by land, sea, and by air using paragliders, according to Israeli officials.

    Fighting was taking place at Erez Crossing, Nahal Oz, Magen, Kibbutz Beeri, Rehim Army Base, Ziikim Army base, and Kfar Azz, an Israel defense official said.

    The terrorist attack happened on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war - known as the Yom Kippur War - where Israel's Arab neighbors launched a surprise attack during Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish Calendar.

    Images and video circulating on social media that were reported on by various newswires, major newspapers, and local publications showed horrifying scenes as rockets smashed into the side of residential buildings, cars and at least one military tank were on fire, numerous bodies lay on the ground in pools of blood, the bodies of Israeli soldiers were desecrated by Palestinians, and Islamic terrorist roamed the streets hunting for Israeli citizens. There were also reports that hostages may have been taken - Israeli soldiers and potentially civilians - and it appears that the terrorists were able to steal significant military hardware from Israel.

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?

  Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.

  This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..

  Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.

  In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"
