Forces in the country have ordered residents to remain indoors and air raid sirens are sounding in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem after Hamas militants infiltrated the country - in some cases flying in via paraglider in order to evade the country's high-tech border. Hamas supreme military commander Mohammed Deif said the operation, Al-Aqsa Storm, involved 5,000 rockets, and called it a declaration that 'enough is enough' as he urged Palestinians to confront Israel. Videos on social media appeared to show armed troops from the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' militant arm, moving through built-up areas firing weapons as Israeli residents were evacuated from their homes following rocket attacks.
