Three days after Hamas took the world by surprise with its terror attack on Israel, Tel Aviv is believed to have re-established control over the border with the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the Israeli area surrounding Gaza had been secured and mines were being planted in areas where the fence had been destroyed.<\/p>\n
Hamas terrorists breached the barrier in multiple places ahead of their attacks on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Overnight, Israel continued to carry out retaliatory air strikes on Gaza despite Hamas threatening to execute one of the dozens of Israeli captives every time a bomb dropped on a Palestinian home without warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The war’s death toll has risen to more than 800 Israelis and almost 700 Palestinians.\u00a0<\/p>\n
