The people of Gaza are facing a humanitarian crisis with half the population starving and in a situation of extreme or severe hunger, according to the World Food Programme.

        Yoav Gallant is Hamas?

        Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip, as Israel fights the Hamas terror group.

        “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

        “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.
