In a statement on Tuesday, the Israeli regime military claimed that it had finally regained control over its suddenly porous border with the Gaza Strip Tuesday morning, some 72 hours after Hamas blew through sections of the barrier and launched a surprise attack that saw over 1,000 Zionists killed or taken to the Strip as hostages.
According to the Times of Israel’s report, the death toll in Israel from the surprise attack and subsequent battles rose above 900, according to reports. Over 500 people remained hospitalized, many with life-threatening injuries; over 2,700 have been injured since Saturday.
Meanwhile, the regime military admitted that there are a small number of Palestinian Resistance fighters still hiding in Israeli-controlled occupied territory.
The Israeli death toll includes at least 123 soldiers, the military said, adding 38 new names to its tally.
