The Israeli military said Monday it was still battling Hamas militants in several locations inside Israel's borders — on the third day after the attack from Gaza by hundreds of Hamas fighters.

A military spokesman said there are still breaches in the barrier between the Gaza Strip and Israel where militants could be entering the country. "We thought this morning we'd be in a better place," said Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, one of the army's spokesmen.

Israeli media reported more than 700 people were killed by Hamas. The Associated Press reported that militants claimed to have taken some 130 captives — including women and children. The figure is unconfirmed.
