Israeli forces are still trying to defeat the last groups of militants holed up in several towns since Hamas launched its unprecedented attack on Saturday.
Israeli forces are actively fighting Hamas in as many as eight locations inside Israel, after the country formally declared war. It comes as the Israel Defence Forces said this morning they thought they would be in 'a better place', more than 48 hours since the beginning of the surprise attack. Israeli forces moved to crush fighters still in southern towns and intensified their bombardment of the Gaza Strip with the number of dead reaching 1,100 and thousands wounded on both sides.
The declaration of war foreshadows heavier fighting ahead, and a major question is whether Israel will launch a ground assault into Gaza, a move that in the past has brought increased casualties. Meanwhile, in northern Israel, a brief exchange of strikes with Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group fanned fears that the fighting could expand into a wider regional war. During their rampage through southern Israel, militants dragged back into Gaza dozens of captives.
