One of the supply ships is in for maintenance. Not sure which one. My son was sent down there for 12 days to do some pipe work.

Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented assault on Israel from the Gaza Strip on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking about 240 hostages back into the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military responded with air strikes on Hamas occupied Gaza, and launched a ground offensive. More than 21,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
During a temporary truce at the end of November, Hamas released 105 hostages and Israel freed 240 Palestinian prisoners in exchange. Not one for one, but more than two for one on Israel’s part.
(During the truce, 81 Israelis and dual nationals were released, along with 24 foreigners. In return for the Israeli hostages, 240 Palestinians were free from Israeli jails)
Each side blamed the other for the collapse of the truce and resumption of fighting on 1 December. Mr Netanyahu said Hamas had not "met its obligation to release all of the women hostages", and had "launched rockets at Israeli citizens". Hamas said Israel had refused "to accept ALL offers to release other hostages" no matter how ridiculous or one sided. (?)
After the temporary truce ended, Israeli troops pushed into southern Gaza and began operations against Hamas and other armed groups in and around the city of Khan Younis.
Since the 7 October attacks, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warplanes have carried out air strikes across Gaza while its troops have moved through the territory.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had a "clear goal of destroying Hamas's military and governing capabilities", as well as freeing the hostages.
The IDF says it has struck more than 22,000 targets since 7 October.
It also says it has destroyed more than 800 tunnel shafts built underneath Gaza. Hamas previously claimed that its tunnel network stretches for 500km (310 miles).
Satellite images suggest that nearly 100,000 buildings in Gaza may have been damaged during the fighting.
The IDF has carried out many air strikes on Rafah, near the Egyptian border, where it previously told residents of Khan Younis to flee. Why on Earth would the IDF do this? What possible reason could they have for doing this?
There has been fierce fighting in the north, around the Jabalia refugee camp (with whom? Who is fiercely fighting the IDF there?) and the Shejaiya district of Gaza City…but with whom? Whom in the Shejaiya district is fighting with the IDF? The UN estimates that 100,000 civilians remain in the north.
It is believed that more than 100 hostages remain alive “somewhere” in Gaza. A number of bodies have also been recovered and Israeli officials have confirmed the deaths of more than 20 people who had been held by Hamas.
Hamas has said it and other armed groups in Gaza will not release any more hostages until Israel “agrees” to end the war that Hamas started on 7 October with hundreds of Hamas gunmen crossed from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel, breaking through the heavily guarded perimeter fence, landing by sea, and using paragliders.
The gunmen killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, in a series of raids on military posts, kibbutzim and a music festival, and took hostages back into Gaza.
The BBC has also seen and heard evidence of rape, sexual violence and mutilation of women during the Hamas attacks, Victims included children, teenagers and pensioners.
Does that minimize that Palestinians in Gaza are also victims? Nope! Not all Palestinians are Hamas, but all Hamas are Palestinians…& I’ve yet to hear anyone come forward with a way to sort the Non-Hamas & Non-Hamas Supporters from the Hamas & Hamas Supporters.
Hamas is a Palestinian group which has run Gaza since 2007. The name is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya, which means Islamic Resistance Movement. The group’s goal is that it wants to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic state.
Israel prefers not to be destroyed, the Jews driven from the river to the sea, and Israel to be replaced with another Islamic state. Thus the conflict. What’s the “Happy Medium” between these two positions? I’m just trying to offer perspective between Post #1138 & this one.

Should Israel be in a posit position to have the residents of Gaza thank Israel for the increase in available work in Gaza? A report of some 22,000, more or less gives those now killed, the opportunity to on the job training as undertakers. great opportunity to long term employment and the opportunity to get paid for the work done. Also, while each side of the argument in Canada has the right to protest, I don’t think it is right that they demand the Canadian government get involved. Those saying that Canada provides help for the palistians, they should be flying to gaza and get the Hamas group to stop their resistance, before there is no place to live there.
Are you upset white Jewish colonists are killing people who are brown colonists?
Who is the “they” above? What “they” should be flying to Gaza to get the Hamas group to stop their resistance?
Gazans can and should enjoy peace, but as long as its civilian population continues to support Hamas’s actions and allows the group to speak for them, use them as human shields and turn their homes, hospitals, schools, mosques and more into launching pads for terrorist attacks, there will be no peace.
The war could be over tomorrow if Hamas laid down its arms, but that decision rests with Hamas, not Israel. If Hamas will not co-operate, Gaza’s population should tell the Israelis the whereabouts of the hostages and Hamas leaders.
Anything less would leave Israeli civilians vulnerable to future mass terror attacks — which Hamas has promised to commit over and over again — and ensure that Gazan civilians will continue to be the victims of violence their leaders are intent on perpetuating.

Maybe we can send both sides T-shirts as foreign aid. The same colour of T-shirts for everybody with the slogan written in both Arabic and Hebrew.
But what slogan?
How about "Go Army! Beat Navy!"
Or maybe "My Eyes Are Up There" with an arrow?
Well, beats mixing stripes and checks.Just the stars and stripes.
But not by much.
Hunter Plaid. Nobody has an issue with that currently do they?
do it right and you can get the colours for both Hamas and Israel in that scheme.

On their heads, but not as foreign aid T-Shirts simultaneously in Hebrew & Arabic, all the same color, regardless of the team, etc…
