At least 700 Israelis have been killed since the Hamas movement launched its surprise attack on Saturday morning, local time, Israel’s Channel 12 news reported.
The death toll is expected to increase, as a deescalation in fighting seems unlikely in the coming hours and days.
Meanwhile, Israel’s health ministry reported that 2,243 injured individuals have been admitted to hospitals.
