From ZA's ICJ brief:

Israeli Minister of Defence 
On 9 October 2023, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in an Israeli Army ‘situation update’ advised that Israel was 

“imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” 

He also informed troops on the Gaza border that he had “released all the restraints”, stating in terms that: 

“Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything."
