The war between Gaza’s Hamas fighters and Benjamin Netanyahu’s Israel entered its third day. The death toll from both sides rose to more than 1,100 as Israel responded to Hamas’s deadliest attack on Israel through air-air-land attacks.
As Israeli volunteers went to search for bodies and injured people after the terrorist attack, a shocking discovery was made in which at least 260 bodies were recovered from a site in Israel where a concert was going on.

Israel on Monday battled Hamas fighters still holed up in southern cities and massed thousands of troops near the Gaza Strip after vowing to defeat the Palestinian militant group, whose surprise attack the shocked nation compared to 9/11. Is of.
“We are still fighting,” military spokesman Richard Hecht said, as troops battled Hamas fighters for a third day in at least seven locations in southern communities near the coastal region, AFP reported.
“We thought we would have full control by tomorrow,” he said, as Israeli army reserves joined the battle to clear and evacuate southern towns and kibbutz communities. “I hope we do that by the end of the day.”

Sirens blared, rockets and anti-missile ammunition echoed in the sky amid the roar of fighter planes and plumes of black smoke rose over Gaza, sparking Israeli anger.

Palestinians in the crowded coastal region of 2.3 million people had feared a massive Israeli ground offensive aimed at defeating Hamas and freeing at least 100 hostages.
