Israeli forces are still battling with Gaza gunmen holed up in several locations in Israel. More than 700 Israelis and 400 Palestinians have reportedly been killed since Saturday. Palestinian militant groups claim to be holding over 130 captives from the Israeli side.
Israel’s troops were still fighting to recapture its own towns from Hamas gunmen on Monday, acknowledging the battle was taking longer than expected more than two days after the militants burst across the fence from Gaza on a deadly rampage. Fighting was still raging at seven or eight locations inside Israel captured by the fighters, who killed 700 Israelis and seized dozens of hostages in an assault that shattered Israel’s reputation of invincibility.
Hamas fighters were continuing to cross into Israel from Gaza, Hecht said, adding that between 70 and 100 gunmen have been killed in the Beeri area since Saturday. Fighter jets, helicopters and artillery struck over 500 Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets in the Gaza Strip overnight, with targets including Hamas and Islamic Jihad command centres and the residence of a senior Hamas official, Ruhi Mashtaa.
