Israel is reopening Nahal Oz in spite of the attacks on it in the last two weeks that killed two civilians and threatened more.
The Nahal Oz fuel terminal will reopen Wednesday morning for the first time in two weeks, since the terror attack which left two Israelis dead.
For the time being, the defense establishment will only allow the transfer of diesel to the Gaza Strip’s power station, while the transfer of petrol will not be possible.
The terminal was partially opened last week for the transfer of diesel and heating gas, but Palestinian gunmen fired at the tankers, leading to a decision to leave the depot closed.
Following the attempted infiltration attack at the Kerem Shalom crossing on Saturday, the defense establishment began looking into the IDF’s activity at the crossings.
Sources in Gaza warned Tuesday of the total collapse of all electricity, medical, sanitation, drainage, and other power-related systems in the Strip due to an extreme shortage of fuel.
In addition, the Palestinian Energy Authority (PEA) said that the Palestinian power station would cease to function as of Wednesday.
You’re about to run out of fuel? I have a suggestion. Don’t effing kill the people who are supplying the fuel to you, and I guarantee they won’t stop supplying it.
Israel should stop all shipments from Nahal Oz and tell the Palestinians to get their fuel from their Arab brothers—through the Egyptian crossing. For every attack on a crossing, Israel should shut that crossing. After a while, there will only be Egypt. Let all of their supplies come through there. The Egyptians have finally realized that Hamas doesn’t give a damn for them, either. I’m sure the Egyptians will use the legendary Arab/Muslim kindness to fellow Arabs and Muslims—just as Iraq and Iran showed each other during their wars, and Egypt showed Yemen during their wars, and Syria showed Lebanon these twenty-odd years—yes, the Arab notion of brotherhood is what the Palestinians truly deserve.
