The Israeli military is calling for a reduction in aid to Gaza's 2.2 million civilians in a bid to pressure Hamas to release Israeli captives, according to a report in the Israeli media outlet Walla! News.
The Israeli military, according to the report, believes that inducing a deeper humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip could result in civil strife causing chaos among the Palestinian population.
According to the UN, Palestinians in Gaza are already on the brink of starvation.
