itemprop=description content=Israeli soldiers battled Hamas fighters in streets in the south of the country on Sunday.
“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.Hamas fighters, backed by a volley of thousands of rockets, broke through barricades around Gaza early on Saturday to rampage through nearby communities in Israel. At least 250 people were killed in Gaza and civilians paid a staggering cost for the violence on both sides.
The flare-up on Israel’s northern border also threatened to draw into the battle Hezbollah, a fierce enemy of Israel’s which is backed by Iran and estimated to have tens of thousands of rockets at its disposal.Hezbollah struck Israeli positions in a disputed area along the border with Syria’s Golan Heights and Israel’s military responded with armed drone strikes on Hezbollah targets in a disputed area where the borders of Israel, Lebanon and Syria meet.
Israel struck 426 targets in Gaza, its military said, flattening residential buildings in giant explosions.
