Gaza's Only Power Plant Knocked Offline

necro81 (917438) writes "Gaza's only power plant (see this profile at IEEE Spectrum — duct tape and bailing wire not included) has been knocked offline following an Israeli strike. Reports vary, but it appears that Israeli tank shells caused a fuel bunker at the plant to explode. Gaza, already short on electricity despite imports from Israel and Egpyt, now faces widening blackouts."

Nuh-uh! It's only been going on since 1987 and it's all 100% Hamas' fault and Israel is like the rosy-cheeked Normal Rockwell painting of countries and they have zero culpability in this whole mess.
