Israel going in force into Gaza suggests a lot of bloodshed to come: Kiron Skinner
FOX News contributor Kiron Skinner offers her analysis on the Hamas terror attacks in Israel on ‘FOX News Live.’
All of Israel is under the control of the Israeli military, according to multiple reports.
Israeli forces recaptured areas near the Gaza Strip that had been overrun in a Hamas mass-infiltration over the weekend, Reuters reported.
The Israeli Defense Force re-established control of communities but isolated clashes remain throughout the country, a military spokesperson said on Monday.
Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone, a former senior advisor to David Friedman, spoke to Fox News Monday morning from a bomb shelter, where he confirmed the IDF had recaptured the occupied areas.

On Monday, sirens could be heard ringing out in Jerusalem and across Israel. A large rocket barrage was also reported coming from the Gaza Strip into Israel, impacting Tel Aviv and other cities.
Also on Monday, Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered a “complete siege” on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the strikes and as fighting continues.
“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip,” Gallant said at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba. “There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed.”
