Egypt could always supply them, you know… Gaza is not bordered on all sides by Israel…

I read that Israel has informed Egypt that any trucks entering at Rafah will be destroyed. I think there was an airstrike on it yesterday.

Gaza’s largest hospital says it is running out of the fuel it needs to operate.
Al-Shifa Hospital, the Gaza Strip’s largest medical complex, has enough fuel to power its backup generators for another four days at most, its director said Wednesday.
“If electricity stops, our hospitals will become nothing but mass graves,” the director, Dr. Muhammad Abu Salima, said. The hospital has limited its electricity consumption to essential services only, he said....
“This is an unprecedented event,” Dr. Abu Salima said. “This equates to mass execution. A massacre!”
Al-Shifa Hospital is completely overwhelmed and has been operating over its capacity, he said, adding that his staff members are currently treating around 800 patients, even though they have only 500 beds. Supplies are also running out, he warned.
Nine years ago:
At the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, crowds gathered to throw shoes and eggs at the Palestinian Authority’s health minister, who represents the crumbling “unity government” in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The minister was turned away before he reached the hospital, which has become a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders, who can be seen in the hallways and offices.

They seemed to have enough fuel for 1500 rockets…

Egypt warned Israel.
Egypt said as much a few days ago but now the chairman of the house foreign relations committee is saying it too.

Difficult to interpret. How often does Israel receive such warnings, what was the specific warning, etc.

Lots of stuff on “x” (formerly known as Twitter) but this guy gave me a smile
Shared with my son. Not that he’s said anything about the Israel and the Middle East, but he’s in college and probably being flooded with wrong impressions.

It's not a very good plan, is it:
"Step 1: murder and torture hundreds of people, rape women, decapitate babies, abduct children."
"Step 2: beg the survivors of the murdered, tortured, raped, and abducted people to supply electricity, food, and water."
Only non-witches get due process.

Goes in line with Andrea Mitchell's amazing interview.

From the neocon who ballyhooed the invasion of Iraq. He may be right, but I don't pay much attention to Frum anymore...
