“It is possible there are still Palestinian terrorists on Israeli soil”

“We haven’t finished scanning her [συνοριακής περιοχής της Γάζας] still,” he says.
He said last night that troops had found and arrested an “exhausted terrorist” who was trying to return to Gaza. Regarding the number of hostages, he claimed that the army has so far notified the families of 203 people informing them that their loved ones are being held in the Gaza Strip.
Skirmishes with Hezbollah are escalating
The Israel Defense Forces also reported that there had been a “significant escalation” by Hezbollah in its skirmishes with Israel in recent days.
Hezbollah has fired numerous anti-tank missiles from Lebanon into Israel, targeting military and civilian positions and causing casualties to both groups, IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told CNN today, Thursday.
Conricus added that Hezbollah has tried to infiltrate Israel and has been prevented by the IDF.
“What some Hezbollah is doing now is dragging Lebanon into a conflict in which it has no business and certainly will not benefit,” Conricus said.
Hezbollah said it carried out six attacks on Israeli military positions along the Lebanese border on Wednesday using guided missiles, machine guns and 57mm mortars.
