Hamas war: Death toll in Israel rises to 350, 313 Palestinians killed
The Israel Defense Forces said that the number of Israelis killed since Hamas launched its attack Saturday has risen to 350.
At a briefing Sunday, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the priorities now were to end the fighting in Israeli communities and control breaches in the fence dividing Gaza and Israel.
