It is not easy, as the media is already tending to turn a blind eye to the level of atrocities perpetrated in the savage October 7th attacks and is focusing on the humanitarian crisis of the millions of Gaza residents, as well as the thousands of casualties of Israel’s bombing.
Israel is thus forced to prove that it is doing everything possible to mitigate the plight of the Gazan civilians, including allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. Yet on one matter the Israelis are insistent: No further fuel can enter Gaza.
Hamas has attempted to portray the fuel situation as critical, claiming that hospitals cannot function in the current situation. Yet conversations intercepted by the IDF prove the opposite: Hamas is stealing fuel from the hospitals to use for rockets and tunnels it has built.

In a phone call overheard by IDF transmitters between the head of Hamas’s forces in Jebalya and the director of the Indonesian hospital, it becomes patently clear that the director is being forced to give up the 600 liters of fuel he has kept for the hospital (presumably given by the international community for that purpose) as they are being “conscripted” for military purposes. Inset is a picture of the Indonesian hospital.
