The Israeli government will cut off electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip.
Source. This was reported by Reuters with reference to the statement of the Minister of Energy of Israel Katz.
Israel provides about two-thirds of the Gaza Strip's electricity needs, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports.
The remaining third is produced at a power plant in Gaza.
Gaza is experiencing an acute energy shortage even with electricity supplies from Israel, and now, according to the newspaper, this shortage will increase significantly.
Background. As a reminder, Hamas attacked the Rutenberg power plant, the second largest in Israel, and a fire broke out at the plant.
