Israel border closure may force Gaza power plant shutdown: official

Gaza's only power station is at risk of imminent shutdown due to a lack of fuel, its manager warned Thursday as Israel's complete closure on the territory reached a third day.

Israel shut the goods and people crossings along its frontier with Gaza on Tuesday, citing fears of reprisals following the arrest of two senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad members in the occupied West Bank.

The military has also imposed restrictions of movement on Israeli communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip.
