Loading player...
Israel has declared war on Hamas after the worst terror attack in its history. In an interview with BizNews, it’s ambassador in South Africa, Eli Belotserovsky, describes how-  under a barrage of missiles - armed bands of terrorists penetrated Israel through tunnels, in boats and by paragliders. More than 700 people have died and over 2 000 wounded, while an estimated 150 have been taken to the Gaza Strip as hostages. The ambassador says Israel will destroy terrorist infrastructure that has been developed in Gaza Strip by Hamas. Meanwhile, he is sure there will be a “thorough investigation” into why the Israeli military and its intelligence services were caught off guard. - Chris Steyn
