Gunmen from the Palestinian group Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday, killing at least 300 Israelis and escaping with dozens of hostages. The conflict is now spreading, with firing from Lebanon into northern Israel, claimed by armed group Hezbollah.

At least 313 people were also killed in Gaza when Israel responded with one of its most devastating days of strikes, with civilians paying a staggering cost for the violence on both sides.
