Israel-Palestine Conflict: The death toll, last updated over 1600, is expected to go much higher as Israeli arming on Tuesday said it found around 1,500 bodies of Hamas militants around the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the fierce battles continued between Hamas gunmen and Israeli troops in Gaza after the Palestinian military group fired over 5,000 rockets toward Israel killing thousands of people. Meanwhile, Qassam Brigades of Hamas has threatened to execute Israeli captives for every unannounced Israeli attack on civilians in Gaza. The surprise attack on Saturday caught Israel’s military and intelligence services completely off guard, as hundreds of Hamas gunmen poured through holes blown in the border fence.
