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.
…
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.
That makes no sense. You have to be at war to have a cease fire and they are temporary by nature. The 50 year cease fire in Korea is famous for being the only one to last so long.
Furthermore it was only weeks after the 2014 cease fire that Israel shot an unarmed farmer inside Gaza. You cannot claim there was a cease fire if you were commiting war crimes during it.
Their last ceasefire was in 2018 IIRC.
So fun fact. In 2019 Israel was caught assassinating people inside Gaza. That turned into a whole exchange too.
The point is both countries treat cease fires as items of convenience. But we only act shocked when one of them breaks it.
