Israel's military massed troops on the border with Gaza as airstrikes pummeled the Palestinian enclave in the wake of Saturday's attack by Hamas.
Amnesty International urged Israel to lift its blockade on aid and fuel for Gaza, calling it illegal and humane, and to open a humanitarian corridor into Egypt for civilians in the Palestinian enclave. Israel blockaded Gaza after Hamas militants infiltrated Israel on Saturday and killed more than 1,300 people.
Israel says it will only lift the blockade after the militant group releases dozens of Israeli hostages. Israel says it is discussing a possible humanitarian corridor. Amnesty said the blockade has halted Gaza's only power plant, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis as Israel targets the territory with airstrikes in an effort to destroy Hamas. The human rights group called Israel's actions collective punishment of Gaza's civilian population.
