Israeli security forces delivered 300 liters of diesel fuel to Shifa Hospital in Gaza early Sunday morning and later received intelligence indicating that Hamas had intercepted the delivery, according to a Sunday night IDF statement.
…
The hospitals were running fine before the Israelis shut off their power.
Yes before the government the hospital is in declared war on their neighbor.
Nobody declared war on Oct 7th. Israel has been illegally occupying Palestine (any definition of it’s borders) for decades and has been operating a blockade of Gaza for about a decade.
Both of those are acts of war. One of them is also a war crime. So don’t come crying that Israel got attacked. They could absolutely have kept the power on.
There was a cease fire in place before that. One side broke the cease fire. That’s initiating war. That was an intentional, planned decision to start a war.
Israel is not responsible for providing power to Gaza. Hamas are.
Israel controls their electric grid so they by default have responsibility.
Israel specifically prevented Hamas from being able to provide power on their own with the blockade. They were also already supplying it, suggesting a duty to aid.
how’d hamas do that? :oc
