The Israeli military announced this morning that it had found “about 1,500 bodies” of Hamas fighters in Israel following Saturday’s attack.

“Approximately 1,500 bodies of Hamas (fighters) have been found in Israel around the Gaza Strip,” said Israeli army spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, whose remarks underscored the scale of Saturday’s unprecedented attack by Hamas in southern Israel. .

So far the military has said about 1,000 Hamas fighters have infiltrated into Israeli territory.

On today’s fourth day of hostilities, “the army has more or less regained control of the border fence” with Gaza, “but there can still be infiltrations,” Hecht added.

However, “we know that as of last night, no one entered” Israel from the Gaza Strip, he added.

The army has almost completed the evacuation of 24 locations located near the border with the Gaza Strip, whose residents it had decided to evacuate.
