itemprop=description content=At least 250 people have been killed after the surprise attack on Saturday.
Israeli soldiers fought to repel Hamas militants on Sunday and exchanged fire with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah a day after an unprecedented surprise attack on southern Israel by Palestinian militants that killed at least 250 people.
The flare-up on Israel’s northern border threatened to draw into the battle a fierce enemy of Israel’s which is backed by Iran and estimated to have tens of thousands of rockets at its disposal. At least 256 people in the Gaza Strip were killed in Israeli strikes, including 20 children, and close to 1,800 wounded, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
Israel and Hezbollah have fought several wars in the past, the most recent a 34-day conflict in 2006 that left 1,200 dead in Lebanon and 160 in Israeli. Overnight, the Israeli military issued warnings in Arabic to communities near the border with Israel to leave their homes for areas deeper inside the tiny enclave.
