Israeli forces have regained “full control” of the towns Hamas terrorists infiltrated over the weekend, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Monday in a press briefing, though there could still be some terrorists in the area.
The update comes after at least 700 Israelis were killed and more than 2,400 wounded in Hamas’ unprecedented invasion of the country on Saturday.
“We are now carrying out searches in all of the communities and clearing the area,” Hagari added.
After conducting an assessment with the IDF Southern Command, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said he “ordered a full siege on the Gaza Strip.
No power, no food, no gas, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly.”
The IDF said it struck a number of sites in the Gaza Strip, including a munitions warehouse, an entrance to an underground tunnel, and Islamic Jihad war rooms, including one that was located within a mosque, The Times of Israel reports. Additionally, a Hamas vehicle attempting to enter Israel was also hit.

According to Hagari, 300,000 reservists have been called up since Saturday.
“We have never drafted so many reservists on such a scale,” he said. “We are going on the offensive.”
Hmmm
Israel is in the wrong here because they are illegally occupying the Sovereign State of Palestine which included the Gaza Strip (The Gaza strip has long been the largest open air prison camp in the world)
Under international law the Palestinians have every legal, not to mention moral and ethical justification to attack israel at any time given they are defending their families, homes and country against foreign invaders (israel)
Israel has killed literally thousands of Palestinian women and children just in the last decade. Many of those murdered Palestinian women and children have been shot dead in front of family members or died after torture in israeli prisons. (israel currently has more than 1500 Palestinian children under the age of 16 currently in their jails.
Israel has every right to defend its borders BUT IF AND ONLY IF THEY RESPECT THE RIGHT OF THE STATE OF PALESTINE TO DO EXACTLY THE SAME! Clearly, israel has zero respect for borders of other countries… Funny enough it is the Jewish members in Congress that have always talked out of both sides of their mouths on borders security: OPEN BORDERS FOR AMERICA AND CLOSED HEAVILY ARMED BORDERS FOR ISRAEL THAT ONLY LET IN JEWS…
WAKE UP AMERICA! THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO THE REPUBLIC OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS HAS BEEN AND REMAINS ISRAEL!

The main difference between Israel and Palestine is that Israel is a nation, and Palestine is a geographical region. Palestine has not been, nor is it currently, a nation.
