Israel Halts Electricity Supply to Gaza, Says Energy MinisterIsrael ordered its state-run electricity company to halt supply to the Gaza Strip on Saturday after Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, the energy minister said. "I have signed an order instructing (Israel) Electric Company to stop the electricity supply to Gaza," AFP quoted Energy Minister Israel Katz saying in a statement. "This is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage. Gaza has been devastated by four wars and countless skirmishes between Hamas and Israel since the militants seized control of the strip in 2007. Some of the dead were civilians, among crowds that attempted to cross into Israel through the damaged gates.
