“We are in control of the settlements,” Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said in a statement, but warning that Hamas fighters might still be present in the area.

In response to the massive Hamas attack which began Saturday morning with terrorists surging out of Gaza to kill and kidnap hundreds of civilians, Israeli forces have retaliated with mighty force, fighting militants in several locations and conducting air strikes on Gaza.

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Monday he had ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip in retaliation to Hamas’ offensive, according to local media reports. Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Israel Katz also said he was ordering Gaza’s water supply to be “immediately cut off.”

Hamas’ offensive also continued into Monday, with reports of rockets landing near Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport and warning sirens sounding in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

In the meantime, the international community has condemned Hamas’ brutal attack. On Monday, Austria said it suspended aid to the Palestinians, while Germany said no aid payments were currently being made, but that it would review its pledged donations.
