They have ways of knowing.
LOL, look at your handle and then look at your answer. LOL
Proof, where is it? They want a pass on condemnation for bombing a UN School that they announced would be a safe-zone then they better be able to offer up some proof. So far anything resembling proof is absent, just as they offered no proof for the Nov attack that killed 6 and injured just as many. Had it been 6 IDF killed and 6 injured some for of retribution would have followed.
Oh yes as part of the cease-fire agreement from June19-Dec19, '08 had to do with opening up the blockade, as pointed out they failed to do so....no comment on the fact that they were in constant violation of the crease-fire.
Under a
ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in
June 2008, Israel agreed to lift its blockade. However, Israel mostly maintained it. By August 2008, Israel was still allowing in very few goods.
[12] At Egypt's request, Israel did not always respond to Palestinian cease fire violations by closing the border.
[13]
[edit] Blockade agreements
The Palestinians who negotiated the
2008 cease-fire believed that the commerce in Gaza was to be restored to the levels preceding Israel's withdrawal in 2005 and Hamas's electoral victory.
[14][15] Israeli policy tied the easing of the blockade on success in reducing rocket fire
[16]. Israel permitted a 20% increase in goods trucked into Gaza in the pre-lull period, up from 70 to 90 truckloads a day.
[14], including not only humanitarian supplies but also clothes, shoes, refrigerators, and construction materials.
[17] Fuel supplies increased from 55
MW worth to 65
MW worth.
[17] BBC News reported in 11 November that Gaza was then receiving only 28% of the amount of goods traded before the Hamas takeover.
[17]
Over the one month period from 4 November to 8 December, about 700 truck loads of goods went into Gaza, about 1/40th of what would have gone through without the blockade.
