Sole Gaza power plant out of fuel
The Hill ^ | 10/11/2023 | TARA SUTER

The sole power plant in Gaza officially ran out of fuel on Wednesday amid fighting between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, and was shut down.

Israel cut off supplies — including food, water, fuel and medicine — to the area after Hamas, who controls the Gaza Strip, launched a surprise attack over the weekend. The access point into Egypt was also closed on Tuesday as a result of airstrikes.

Counterattacks from Israel have destroyed neighborhoods in Gaza — home to more than 2.3 million Palestinians. At least 2,200 have been killed on both sides, officials said.

Good. Now start mini-gunning solar panels. At night, drop a bomb on every candle, lantern, flashlight and genset.

Well, they wanted to poke the bear.

Civilized people live amicably and prosperously.

Make all Hamas sympathizers pay in the harshest of ways.

Slaughtering people for Allah for fun needs to be met with a separate slaughtering.

Gazans are just cannon fodder. They are completely expendable.

After all, that's "green."

The color green (Arabic: أخضر, romanized: 'akhḍar) has a number of traditional associations in Islam. In the Quran, it is associated with paradise. Green was adopted by the Shi'ites, and remains particularly popular in Shi'ite iconography, but it is also widely used in by Sunni states, notably in the flag of Saudi Arabia and the flag of Pakistan.

Why is Israel supplying water, fuel, electricity? Are the Palestinians not smart enough to build their own infrastructure?

They aren’t any more. But one wonders why they would aid those who intend to kill them.

Maybe they should try smuggling in fuel and food instead of weapons?

Nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Earlier today (would have been early afternoon in Gaza), on the livestreams from Gaza, in the distance I saw a very large and very long lasting column of dense black smoke. That very well may have been a part of their petroleum supplies.
