Israel defense minister orders 'complete siege' on Gaza

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant Monday ordered a "complete siege" on the Gaza Strip as the military pounded the Palestinian enclave with air strikes.

"We are putting a complete siege on Gaza... No electricity, no food, no water, no gas -- it's all closed," Gallant said in a video statement, referring to the crowded enclave home to 2.3 people.
