Netanyahu examines siege plan for Hamas in north Gaza: Israeli media

Israel is examining a plan to use siege tactics against Hamas in northern Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quoted by Israeli media outlets as saying on Sunday. Mr Netanyahu’s office did not respond to a request for comment. The reports cited unnamed sources at a closed parliament committee meeting. The plan, published by retired military commanders and floated by some parliament members this month, suggests Palestinian civilians would be told to evacuate northern Gaza, which would then be declared a closed military zone.
