Israel has mobilised units
Hamas said on Sunday that their fighters are engaged in intense clashes at several sites within Israeli territories, including in the settlements of Ofakim, Sderot, Yad Mordechai, Kfar Aza, Be'eri, Yated, and Kissufim.
They also reported infiltrating several sites within Israel, including the settlements of Sofa and Hulit.
This comes after an unprecedented operation was launched by Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, deep into the settlements around the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army is yet to fully secure control over the settlements.
The Al-Qassam Brigades released footage of their launching of several kamikaze drones targeting Israeli targets, as well as an attack on the "Re'im" military base, which serves as the headquarters for Israel's Gaza division.
