The Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said "isolated" clashes between troops and Palestinians are still ongoing along the boundary with Gaza.
He claimed the army has "regained control of all towns" but fighting continues in some pockets.
He added that the army is preparing to regain control of the barrier separating Gaza and Israel, and plans to secure the breaches in the fence with tanks.
At least 300,000 reservists have been mobilised, Hagari said, as 15 out of 24 towns along the frontier have been evacuated
