Why would Israel "target" the Gaza power grid? I thought that Israel supplied them with electricity. They should just need to shut off the power and water.

There’s shutting the power off, and then there’s making sure it doesn’t come back on.

Me, too. Same question.

I believe it's something about the obligations under international law about the occupiers of a conquered territory. But, those laws say nothing about receiving hundreds of missiles of incoming fire.

They might supply high voltage lines, but the transformers to step it down would be local. Blow them up and it would take months to get the juice back on. And it might shut down the water pumping system as well. Just speculatin'.

I can't believe people who don't even have an air force would be so stupid to attack a country that does. But then, they are stupid political tools of izzlam.

A blind mouse would have better luck attacking a hawk.

In case some liberal Israeli moron, in the future, decides to turn it back on "for the children".
