UPDATE: Israel - Hamas war, day 1 • > 500 dead: 300 Israelis, 232 Palestinians. Thousands injured • Airstrikes pound Gaza now • Hamas has > dozen Israeli hostages • Thousands of rockets hit Israel • Netanyahu vows turning Hamas enclave to rubble

The scale of devastation from first day of Hamas-Israel war is already unprecedented. We are entering a very dark chapter in conflict, with weeks if not months to come of war and bloodshed. Netanyahu facing hardest battle with hostages inside Gaza. Hamas has little to lose.

How this can play out, all escalatory scenarios: 

- Israeli ground operation, likely after hostages situation addressed
- Weeks of war: Netanyahu Unity gov. bid indication
- A multi-front war involving Lebanon or Syria or both
- Something involving Iran though less likely for now
