“We have full control of the places,” army spokesman Daniel Hagari said on Monday about the southern Israeli areas near the Gaza Strip. However, there could still be “terrorists” in the region.
Hamas entered the country with fighters
The Palestinian organization Hamas, which rules in the Gaza Strip, launched a major attack on Israel on Saturday morning and entered the country with hundreds of fighters. On Monday morning, the Israeli army initially announced that there were still “between seven and eight” open battle locations in the border area with the Gaza Strip where fighting was continuing.
The Hamas attack was the worst attack on Israel since the Yom Kippur War exactly 50 years ago. The Palestinian organization ruling in the Gaza Strip launched its major attack unexpectedly on Saturday morning. It fired thousands of rockets at Israel and, according to the Israeli army, entered Israeli territory with an estimated thousand fighters.
