Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari spoke to reporters on Sunday, more than 24 hours after the Palestinian militant group launched an unprecedented assault into Israel.
“Hundreds of terrorists” have been killed and dozens captured amid ongoing fighting with Hamas militants in Gaza and southern Israel, an Israeli military official has said.
The prospect of Hezbollah joining the fighting a day after the attack from Gaza raised the chances of a broader conflict. Israeli media, citing rescue service officials, said at least 300 people were killed, including 26 soldiers. In Gaza, residents fled homes near the border to escape Israeli strikes, fleeing deeper inside the territory after warnings in Arabic from the Israeli military.
In an assault of startling breadth on Saturday, Hamas gunmen used explosives to break through the border fence enclosing Gaza, then crossed with motorcycles, pick-up trucks, paragliders and speed boats on the coast. Among the 256 killed in Gaza were 20 children, and close to 1,800 wounded, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
