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.
The early-morning surprise attack has left at least 22 people dead and over 250 injured, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency rescue service. It comes on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 War in which Arab states blitzed Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
The U.S. economy added 336,000 jobs in September, the Labor Department said. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected 170,000 jobs. To be sure, wages rose less than expected last month.

Long-lived Tropical Storm Philippe strengthened Thursday as it moved north in the Atlantic Ocean on a track that will take it near Bermuda early Friday and into New England by the weekend.
Philippe could strike portions of Maine with heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surge, said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist. The system might not officially be a tropical storm at that time, but what meteorologists call a "post-tropical cyclone."
