Nearly 3,600 people have been killed in Israel And Gaza, four days after the sudden Hamas strikes triggered a catastrophic war in the region. Israel claims it has regained control of the Gaza border areas from the group. Israel has also reported shelling from Lebanon and Syria which it has responded to with its own air strikes. Lebanese group Hezbollah claimed the strikes were to avenge the deaths of its members by Israeli defence forces.
Over 1,200 people have been killed in Israel in the worst attack in the nation's 75-year history, while Gaza reported 900 causalities. On Tuesday, Israel's army claimed to have recovered the bodies of around 1,500 Hamas members near border areas of Gaza. Vowing to turn Hamas sites in Gaza to rubble, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu compared the Hamas attacks to ISIS killings. "Hamas terrorists bound, burned, and executed children. They are savages. Hamas is ISIS," he said. Bombardment by Israeli forces on Tuesday hit the main exit point from the Palestinian region.
Here are the Highlights on the Israel-Hamas war:
Israel got a warning from Egypt of potential violence three days before Hamas caught Israeli forces off-guard in a large-scale attack, the chairman of the powerful US House Foreign Affairs Committee said today.
Around 81 families of people taken hostage by Palestine's Hamas group have reportedly been contacted by the Israeli government, say media reports.
Iran was likely aware that the Palestinian militant group Hamas was planning "operations against Israel" but Washington has no information for now that Tehran directed or orchestrated the devastating attack by Hamas gunmen.
