Israel's military massed troops on the border with Gaza as airstrikes pummeled the Palestinian enclave in the wake of Saturday's attack by Hamas.
Israeli forces were still engaging with Hamas militants inside Israel up through last night, the country's military said on Thursday, as it battles to secure the border with Gaza. Richard Hecht, a spokesman for Israel Defense Forces, said militants from Hamas were also still trying to penetrate Israel from the sea.
Hamas has fired over 5,000 rockets into Israeli territory since the start of the war, he said. “We’re still securing the border,” Hecht said, adding there are more than 100 tanks now stationed along the fence and that they are adding additional barricades. “Anyone who comes near the fence will be shot,” he said. “No one is coming in or out.”
