[Ynet] After repairs made to Kerem Shalom border crossing, which Paleostinian rioters set ablaze on 3 different occasions, supply of cooking gas and diesel fuel expected to resume on Monday; 12 tanks of diesel, 1 tank of gas transferred into strip on Thursday in trial run.
| I do hope Hamas will be made to pay for the cost of repairs after operatives were seen directing the destroyers. After all, Israeli taxpayers and Israeli soldiers have already had to pay for preventing Hamas’s planned invasion over nearly two months, not to mention the cost of burnt crops and forests. |
Israel partially renewed the supply of gas and fuel to the Gazoo Strip through the Kerem Shalom border crossing on Thursday after it was repeatedly set ablaze by Paleostinian rioters.
The Border Crossings Authority, in conjunction with the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories and the District Coordination and Liaison in the Gazoo Strip, resumed the transfer of cooking gas and diesel fuel into the strip.
Paleostinian rioters sabotaged the crossing, the only one for the transfer of goods from Israel to Gazoo, on three different occasions over the past two weeks.
In the latest incident on Monday evening, fuel pipelines and the quarry materials depot were damaged. Before that on Friday, a fuel complex and a conveyor belt were vandalized. On the Friday before that, rioters sabotaged gas and fuel pipelines. The damage from the first two attacks alone was estimated at over $9 million.
| And the third? Since there’s been no mention of an estimate that I’ve noticed, one assumes it will be a similar ghastly amount. |
Repair work for the pipelines has been completed, with the system expected to partially resume operations after the Shavuot holiday, which takes place on Sunday.
Twelve tanks of diesel fuel and one tank of gas were transferred into the strip on Thursday to test the repaired system. If no leaks are found, the supply of fuel and gas will continue on Monday.
