Israelis are questioning how Palestinian militant group, Hamas, breached the border from Gaza to attack Israel.

More than 1100 Israelis and Palestinians have died since the surprise attack and at least 100 Israeli citizens have been taken hostage.

Israeli tanks have moved along the border of neighbouring country, Lebanon, launching retaliatory strikes.

Newshub correspondent Lisette Reymer, reporting from Tel Aviv, says this conflict has 'shattered' any sense of peace in the region.

"Everybody now has learned to run to the bomb shelters, to really pay attention to those air raid sirens, where the average Israeli has not done that and does not usually encounter air raid sirens."
