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.

Now, with no water or power and limited supplies, Israel can say to the people “you want water turned back on, you want some electricity, drag the top 2000 leaders of Hamas to this border fence. We’ll take them dead or alive.”

The Israelis will save many lives on both sides if the Palestinians take destiny into their own hands and rid themselves of Hamas so Israel doesn’t have to do it for them with bombs and ground invasions.

How are the Israelis going to know who is Hamas and who is not?

Appeasement - it never works.

Facial recognition. Israel has a huge intelligence network.

It really let the country down recently, probably due to the recent influx of woke employees, soon to be rectified.

At first Usrael supplied power etc as part of international agreement from 1947. That ran out in 2005. Israel was no longer required to do it.
Telling that in the decades between 1947 and 2005 Palis didn’t bother to make themselves not dependent on an eneny Palis vowed to kill.
Yet Israel continued to supply them

Wars have consequences.

Muslims, Jews, all kinds of people, have relied for too long on the USA to bail them out of their problems.

They publish a list of known top commanders and lieutenants that they want. Sort of how US forces passed out those decks of cards each with a picture of Saddam’s top lieutenants.

They must have intel on who is in the leadership and who are the experts
In digging tunnels and building rockets etc.
