Yediot Ahronot newspaper, citing a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, reported that a series of decisions were made during a meeting of the Israeli Security Cabinet.
It was stated that the decisions aim to destroy the military capabilities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad so that they can no longer threaten or harm Israeli citizens for many years to come. As part of the decision, it was noted that the entry of fuel and goods into Gaza has been banned. Israeli Energy Minister Yisrael Katz had previously ordered the cutting off of electricity supplied to the blockaded Gaza Strip.
