Israel has re-established control of all the communities that were overrun by Hamas gunmen over the weekend, but militants might still be present on its territory, a defence forces spokesperson said on Monday.

Chief military spokesperson Rear-Admiral Daniel Hagari said the country had drafted a record 300,000 reservists in its response to Saturday's surprise, multi-front Hamas attack from Gaza and was going on the offensive".
