Israel enters another day of tension after Hamas launched surprise attacks from Gaza this weekend. Monday evening, the Israeli military said it has largely gained control in the nation's south. Leaders in the country are stepping up airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, also ordering it be sealed off from food, fuel and other supplies. This as Hamas continues to fire rockets across the border. At least 900 Israelis were killed during this weekend's attacks by Hamas and at least 11 Americans were also killed. In Gaza on Monday night, nearly 700 people have lost their lives. Now, leaders of France, Germany, Italy, the U.K. and U.S. released a joint statement expressing their support for Israel and condemnation of Hamas. Locally, those connected to both Israel and Palestine say they're shocked by what they're seeing and fear what's to come.
