BEIT-UL-MOQADDAS (AFP) -- The Gaza Strip's main fuel terminal will remain closed for a ""few days"" longer, an Israeli official said on Sunday, after an attack by resistance fighters last week killed two Israeli civilians there.

""The terminal will remain closed for a few days to give us time to check and decide on measures to ensure security,"" Tzahi Hanegbi, the head of parliament's foreign affairs and defense committee, told military radio.
He added that ""no strategic decision has been taken"" to close the crossing indefinitely.
Israel shut the Nahal Oz crossing and fuel terminal on Wednesday after Palestinian gunmen stormed it in a deadly cross-border raid that killed two Israeli employees.
On Saturday Palestinian officials warned that the Gaza Strip's sole power plant could shut down again if it does not receive fresh supplies of fuel.
""The station will stop completely in the next few days leading to power failures in all sectors if Israel does not supply us with fuel,"" Rafik Maliha, the director of the power plant, told AFP.
He did not specify how much longer the plant could run on existing reserves, but in January the facility shut down three days after Israel closed all crossings leading into Gaza following a spike in violence.
The loss of the plant would deprive Gaza of 55 megawatts of electricity, resulting in territory-wide power cuts of up to 10 hours a day, a spokesman from Gaza's power distribution authority said.
Israel has said it will continue providing minimal fuel supplies to the Palestinian territory and has blamed the attack and the fuel shortages on the Islamist Hamas movement which seized power there in June.
Israel has sealed the impoverished coastal strip off from all but vital humanitarian aid since June when the Islamist movement -- which is pledged to Israel's destruction -- seized power.
Gaza's sole power plant provides around 30 percent of the territory's electricity, with most of the remainder supplied directly from Israel and a small amount from Egypt.
