The Israeli military says nearly 1,000 terrorists were killed in the October 7-8 fighting.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released a new estimate of the number of Hamas militants who entered Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023. Specifically, it is talking about about 3,000 terrorists, and not 1,500 -2,000, as previously thought. This was reported by the local publication NEWSru.co.il.
We are specifically talking about armed militants, and not about residents of Gaza, who entered Israeli territory for the purpose of looting a few hours after the terrorist attack.
Israel’s military says nearly 1,000 terrorists were killed in the Oct. 7-8 battle, and about 200 attackers were captured.
The media said there were still dozens or even hundreds of bodies of slain terrorists lying on the border.
TsAGAL hopes to complete the collection of remains when the situation at the border becomes more secure.
Note that the Israel Defense Forces have moved into the third phase of the war against Hamas. TsAGAL is expanding its ground invasion in the Gaza Strip.
In addition, Israel began fighting Hamas in Gaza’s underground tunnels.
