Israel said it will not provide any humanitarian aid or resources to the Gaza Strip until Hamas releases the 150 people it took hostage during the weekend attack.
In a statement, Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz confirmed they will not provide water, fuel, or electricity until the hostages are released.
"An electric switch will not be turned on, a water tap will not open, and a fuel truck will not enter until the kidnapped Israelis return to their homes," he said.
On Monday, Israel ordered a "complete siege" on the Gaza Strip, including cutting off water and electricity.
Violence on the border between Israel and Lebanon flared up for a fourth day on Wednesday with Israeli shelling hitting southern Lebanese towns in response to a fresh rocket attack by Hezbollah.
