AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Israeli regime has cut electricity to the Gaza Strip as it intensifies its attacks against the besieged Palestinian territory.

As a result of the operation of the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli regime called "Al-Aqsa Storm", 300 Zionists have been killed so far.
Also, about 40 Zionists have been captured by the Palestinian resistance group.
