"No electricity, no water, no gas" will be allowed to head to Gaza, ordered Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galkant on Monday, October 9. "We're fighting animals and are acting accordingly," he added. His remarks come two days after Hamas launched operation "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" on Israeli territory.

On Monday, Israel continued to strike Gaza, home to some 2.3 million Palestinians. Images from the territory show buildings destroyed and set on fire.
