The Israeli government on Sunday declared a “state of war” amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict that has claimed over 600 Israeli lives, reports Anadolu.

The Israeli Security Council approved a declaration of war in accordance with Article 40 of the Basic Law, the Israeli government said, according to the daily Jerusalem Post.

Over 2,000 Israelis have been injured so far, Hebrew Channel 12 reported.

Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Saturday and said the surprise attack was in response to the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and increased settler violence. It said it fired rockets and captured many Israelis.

In turn, the Israeli army initiated Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

About 750 Israelis have been missing since fighting broke out on Saturday morning, local media reported early Sunday.

At least 313 Palestinians have also been killed and nearly 2,000 others injured in the attacks, according to medical sources in Gaza.

More than 3,000 rockets have been launched by Hamas toward Israel since Saturday morning, according to the Israeli army.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
