"Approximately 1,500 bodies of Hamas militants were found in Israel around the Gaza Strip," Israeli occupation army spokesman Richard Hecht told reporters, adding that security forces had "more or less restored control over the border" with Gaza.
"Since last night we know that no one came in .. but infiltrations can still happen."
The army had "nearly completed" evacuation of all the communities around the border, he added.
Israel has previously reported 900 soldiers and civilians killed, and Palestinian authorities have reported about 700 deaths in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
