A fuel shortage forced the Gaza Strip’s main power station to shut down on Monday, leaving about half the residents of the Hamas-controlled Palestinian territory without electricity, a power plant official said. Israel, which had blocked deliveries of fuel to the enclave for a week in response to a surge in cross-border rocket attacks, said it would allow resumption of fuel shipments on Tuesday.
