TEL AVIV, Monday, October 9, 2023 (WAFA) - As part of Israel’s war on Gaza, Defense Minister Yoav Galant decided to toughen the 17-year-long siege on the Gaza Strip with preventing entry of food and fuel and cutting off electricity to the Strip.

Galant said in racist statements to the official Israeli radio "Kan": "We made an assessment of the situation, and we are fighting animals and we will act accordingly."

Three days of Israeli airstrikes killed around 500 Palestinians and injured some 3000 others, most of them children and women.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation warplanes launched a series of destructive air raids on Gaza in Israel’s scorched earth policy against the Gaza Strip.

Tens of tones of explosives were dropped on Gaza in the past three days, mainly in the border areas north and east of the Gaza Strip, causing heavy destruction to property and forming a cloud of deep black smoke over the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the two massacres in the Jabalya and Shati refugee camps, leaving dozens of people dead and wounded and massive destruction of homes and property.
