Israeli PM Cuts Gaza Fuel Transfers Amid Flurry of Threats Associated Press JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military on Monday to cut fuel transfers to Gaza in half, in response to rocket attacks from the coastal strip, raising tensions along Israel's southern border in addition to those stemming from a renewed threat from the north amid reported Israeli strikes on Iranian targets in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. Netanyahu also instructed his staff to prepare plans for building a new neighborhood in a West Bank settlement near where a teenage Israeli girl was killed in an explosion last week. Israel said the blast was a Palestinian attack. References Visible links Hidden links: 1. file://localhost/middle-east/israels-gaza-blockade-under-scrutiny-after-latest-violence .
