This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Israeli military said it had recovered the bodies of more than 1,500 Hamas fighters inside Israel and mostly secured its border with Gaza after a night of intensified airstrikes across the enclave that destroyed infrastructure and displaced thousands.
An Israeli military spokesperson said its forces were installing “an iron wall” of tanks and helicopters along the Gaza border, ahead of an expected large-scale ground invasion of the besieged enclave.
Barakeh’s comments followed statements by another senior Hamas official, Moussa Abu Marzouk, who told Al Jazeera that the group was open to discussions of a possible truce with Israel after having “achieved its targets”.
Israel formally declared war on Sunday and called up 300,000 reservists for duty, signalling a possible ground assault into Gaza – a move that in the past has always brought further bloodshed.
Zonszein said the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had not publicly prioritised the safe return of the hostages held by militants from Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, despite the threats of executions.
In his interview with the Associated Press, Barakeh said that only a small number of top commanders inside Gaza had known about Saturday’s incursion into Israel and that even the group’s closest allies had not been informed in advance about the timing.
