Multiple rockets were fired from Gaza toward Israel early on Saturday morning, killing at least 22 and injuring more than 250 people, the media reported.
The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas took the responsibility for the attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that “Israel is at war” following an early morning surprise attack from Gaza.
The Georgian Foreign Ministry earlier condemned the “horrific” attack and said the country’s Embassy in Israel was “in communication” with Georgian citizens amid the ongoing Hamas attack.
Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili also condemned “unjustified, brutal, and inhumane” aggression against Israel and expressed Georgian people’s support for “brotherly” Israel.
