In addition to 600 dead, another 2,000 in Israel are wounded. Palestinian officials said 300 have also been killed in Gaza.
Israeli media outlets report that the death toll from Hamas' incursion into Israel reached 600 on Sunday, according to The Associated Press.
The figure was reported by The Kan public broadcaster, Channel 12, and newspapers Haaretz and Times of Israel, AP said.There has been no official confirmation of numbers on the Israeli side since the fighting began early Saturday morning, when Hamas hit Israel with a surprise attack. Hamas launched thousands of rockets and took in Israeli captives, including women and children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has since declared war against the Palestinian militant group, as he called for a mass army mobilization.This comes as fighting between the two sides continued into a second day. It is not clear how many of the deaths are soldiers or militants, and how many are civilians — but civilians on both sides have surely been paying the price. Israeli television aired distraught family members begging for help finding relatives who were taken captive or missing. In Gaza, residents fled their homes to escape the violence. Israel flattened residential buildings in Gaza in a series of strikes.
All eyes are on whether Israel will launch a ground attack on Gaza next. Netanyahu vowed Hamas will pay an"unprecedented price."SEE MORE: Understanding the history of the Israel-Gaza conflict
