Hamas still has some 20,000 fighters and access to thousands of weapons, including missiles that can reach deep within the Jewish state, according to the Israeli military.

IDF said that two Israeli soldiers were killed and two wounded in a deadly Hamas attack near Salah A-Din Road in southern Gaza on Sunday morning. Israeli army added that Hamas operatives emerged from a cross-border tunnel and fired RPGs at IDF excavators.
