Israeli Fatalities in Hamas Attack Reach 900


(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - The death toll in Israel from the Hamas surprise attack and subsequent battles rose above 900, including at least 123 soldiers. 130 people are thought to have been abducted and taken into Gaza. Over 500 people remained hospitalized, many with life-threatening injuries; over 2,700 have been injured since Saturday. The IDF said it had managed to seal the border, mining areas around breaches as a stopgap against further incursions. "In the last day, not a single terrorist entered via the fence," said IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari. He added that the military had not identified any tunnels crossing from Gaza into Israeli territory. 300,000 IDF reservists have been mobilized. Lt.-Col. Richard Hecht said the bodies of 1,500 terrorists had been located in Israel. Hundreds more have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
