Jerusalem, October 9 (Press Ki Taquat)<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s Defence Minister has ordered a \u201ccomplete siege\u201d on Gaza, saying authorities would cut electricity and block the entry of food and fuel.<\/p>\n

Israel and Egypt have imposed various levels of blockade on Gaza since Hamas seized power from rival Palestinian forces in 2007.<\/p>\n

Fighting raged at several locations inside Israel where the fighters were still holed up after killing 700 Israelis and seizing dozens of hostages in a raid that shattered Israel\u2019s reputation of invincibility.<\/p>\n

Israel has already responded with its heaviest ever bombardment of the Gaza Strip, killing some 500 people so far, and could be contemplating an unprecedented ground assault of the territory it abandoned nearly two decades ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Israel\u2019s chief military spokesman said troops had re-established control of communities that had been overrun, but that isolated clashes continued as some Palestinian gunmen remained active.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now carrying out searches in all of the communities and clearing the area,\u201d chief military spokesperson Rear-Admiral Daniel Hagari said.<\/p>\n

The shocking images of the bodies of hundreds of Israeli civilians sprawled across the streets of towns, gunned down at an outdoor disco and abducted from their homes were like nothing seen before in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n

Chief military spokesperson Rear-Admiral Daniel Hagari said 3,00,000 reservists had already been activated in just two days. “We have never drafted so many reservists on such a scale,\u201d Hagari said. \u201cWe are going on the offensive.\u201d Hamas says the attack is justified by the plight of Gaza under a 16-year blockade, an Israeli crackdown in the occupied West Bank that has been the deadliest in years, and a far-right Israeli government that talks of annexing Palestinian land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
