Israeli authorities are planning to cut off water and electricity to the Gaza Strip, and renew the push to displace the population from northern Gaza to the south, according to Israeli broadcaster Kan 11.
The plan by the government is part of a strategy to apply "maximum pressure on the Gaza Strip and Hamas".
It follows the blocking of aid from entering the Gaza Strip on Sunday after the end of the first phase of the ceasefire deal.
The move, coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, comes after Hamas demanded that Israel moves to the second phase of the deal as previously agreed.
The second phase includes a definitive end of the war, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and the release of the remaining Israeli captives.
