Israel activates 'Hell' plan: Gaza's electricity cut off
The Israeli government has decided to stop supplying electricity to the Gaza Strip. Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen announced that the decision is aimed at ensuring the release of hostages held by Hamas. Cohen emphasized that they would use all tools at their disposal to ensure the return of all hostages. According to allegations reported in the press last week, Israel prepared an operation called 'Hell' to force Gazans to leave the region. It was claimed that the 'Hell' plan would begin with 'electricity and water cuts'.

Following an instruction given to the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), electricity sales to power plants in Gaza were immediately halted. The cuts came after allegations of a 'Hell' plan leaked to the press following the end of the first 42-day phase of Israel's ceasefire agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that 'further steps' would be taken if Hamas does not release the hostages.
The Israeli press claimed that the government has prepared a military operation plan for the Gaza Strip called 'Hell'. The plan was expected to be implemented within a week and launch an intense offensive. It was alleged that steps such as electricity cuts, targeted assassinations, and forced mass migration would be taken as part of the operation.
'FIRST, THE ELECTRICITY WILL BE CUT'
Israel's public broadcaster KAN reported the details of the plan. In the first phase, the electricity grid in Gaza will be completely disabled. Targeted operations will be carried out against Hamas leaders. Additionally, forcing residents living in northern Gaza to migrate was also stated as part of the plan.
Pro-Palestinian activists warned that if the 'Hell' plan is implemented, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza will deepen further. The international community has expressed its reaction against Israel's potential operation, increasing calls for a peaceful solution in the region.
The Israel Hayom newspaper wrote that the operation was prepared to force Hamas to accept the US ceasefire proposal. According to the plan, it was also announced that Israel would cut off the region's water resources and destroy strategic targets. Sources stated that this operation would be an 'unprecedented escalation' compared to recent weeks.
Israel agreed to declare a temporary ceasefire during the month of Ramadan following the end of the first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza. However, Netanyahu claimed that Hamas rejected the ceasefire proposal and ordered the suspension of humanitarian aid shipments to Gaza starting Sunday.
