GAZA AND JERUSALEM — Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was “at war” on Saturday, after Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a deadly barrage of rockets and sent gunmen into Israeli territory in a major escalation of the long running conflict between the two sides.Militants launched a barrage of about 2,200 rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel, according to the Israeli military, while armed gunmen infiltrated into Israel by land, sea and air – in paragliders.Multiple explosions were heard over Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and in southern Israel — some blasts likely the interceptions of incoming rockets — while air raids sent Israelis pouring into underground shelters.The Israeli military said it was dealing with hostage incidents in two locations in...
