Why
Israel transferring humanitarian aid to GazaDespite continued mortar fire on western Negev, Israel agrees to open two main cargo crossings into Gaza as part of policy of avoiding humanitarian crisis in Strip. Forty trucks begin delivering medicine, fuel, cooking gas and vital goods
Hanan Greenberg and APIsrael has allowed trucks carrying humanitarian aid to enter Gaza Friday morning, despite continued mortar fire on Israel's southern communities.
The army said the first of an expected 40 trucks have started to deliver medicine, fuel, cooking gas and other vital goods on Friday to Gaza. Israel's Defense Ministry agreed to open the three main cargo crossings into Gaza as part of its policy of avoiding a humanitarian crisis there.
The aid was transferred through the Kerem Shalom, Nahal Oz and Karni crossings. Palestinian workers at the Gaza fuel terminal said that a limited shipment of fuel has been delivered to the main power station in the Strip.
The move comes ahead of an expected Israeli incursion into Gaza to stop rocket launchings from the coastal strip.
The crossings into Gaza were scheduled to be opened earlier in the week but were shut after Gaza militants bombarded Israel with the heaviest barrage of rocket fire since before an Egyptian-mediated truce took effect in June.
Why?
If the people of Gaza did not support the actions of the terrrorist, they could put an end to the rockets in an instant.
If every person in Gaza was suffering bad enough they would rise up and kill the terrorist to put a stop to the rocket fire into Israel.
But they are not suffering enough, so they don't.
I would not allow food, gas, medicine or anything into Gaza, I would use the cutting off of supplies as a weapon in order to weaken our enemy and bring them to their knees to allow Israel to win a victory over this sick society at the lowest cost to our soldiers possible.
