Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the nation's response to the recent Hamas attacks will be a game changer. As the conflict intensifies, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has enforced a stringent siege on the Gaza Strip, cutting off all essentials from electricity and water to food and fuel.
