If there is no fuel in Gaza for one month how do any civilian vehicles still operate?

Chanuka miracle!
And the leaders came to free the land,
of the oppressors who ruled with an iron hand.

They fought like lions, killing left and right,
those terrible oppressors, the children and elderly they did fight.

But then there was no fuel to use,
to power their rockets, to light the fuse.

They looked and searched, up and down,
and then then to smile did turn the frown!

A small jerry can of oil, with a seal to boot,
better than all the stolen loot!

The hospital can wait, people can die,
The main thing is that the missiles should fly.

-Hamas Legend

It looks like Hamas goes by the notion of "רק בדם תהיה לנו הארץ"
We have been unburdened by what has been.

Israel keeps blowing up civilian cars. People gotta pick a narrative and stick with it.

Then we see reports of Hamas not letting them leave. They bomb roads and even reports of them shooting some trying to leave.

Let's not forget that Israel is bombing the south where they told them to go. The bombing is necessary since Hamas is launching rockets from there but that is no comfort for those who did leave the north.

It is indisputable that the South is SAFER than the North for innocent civilians. Hamas making it hard to go, but it is possible. I read a report that the IDF set up checkpoints on the route where they verify IDs for those moving south.

I give up. I'm not going to sue you for libel just yet, though. ;)There is a big difference between the north and south right now.

I will dispute that as it implies the north is safe.  ;)
The south is less dangerous but still extremely dangerous.

Especially since the Hamas rockets that are falling in Gaza typically land in the north!

South is only dangerous if one stays in close proximity to known targets (which AFAIK are only (sub)-human targets at this point, and not any installations).

Handing over a victim is very different than attacking the enemy with collateral damage. Very easy to understand why the former is not a מעשה מלחמה
Until someone has a good Mekor that retzicha byadayim is hutra בעת מלחמה these svaralach aren’t worth much.

Oops

Let me repeat this again. Religious leaders should stay out of this and that includes the Pope. To many have been killed in the name of religion over the years.

I take issue with that approach. Granted when it is a question of רציחה בידים in a vacuum we don’t rely on what you call “svaralach”. When inaction means consigning thousands of people to a certain death we do search for “svaralach” to save them, even if it results in the loss of a יחיד. I don’t think שב ואל תעשה is מכריעה over here when the options and their results are so disproportionate.
