Yes of course its a crime. Crime committed by Hammas they don't care about its own population instead they attack the border checkpoint to halt their work.

IDF checkpoint coordinator blames Palestinians for Gaza fuel crisis - Haaretz - Israel News
Colonel Nir Peres said that Gaza's closed fuel depots and excruciating lines at gas stations were the direct result a carefully planned and publicized Hamas campaign to create a fuel crisis, which stems from the group's refusal to transfer available fuel from the Israeli Nahal Oz fueling terminal into the Strip.
According to Peres, as of this weekend, the fuel containers on the Palestinian side of the fueling terminal contained some 190,000 liters of gasoline and over 800,000 liters of diesel fuel.

On Saturday, the director of Gaza's only power plant said he would have to shut it down in two to three days unless Israel resumed fuel shipments.
Israel halted supplies after Gaza militants attacked the Nahal Oz fuel depot on the Gaza-Israel border last week and killed two Israeli workers. |
But not only Israel says that.Even Palestinians themselves agree with that.

Hussein al-Sheikh, a PA official, confirmed to Haaretz that Hamas seizes half the amount of fuel transferred by Israel to the Strip. The amount confiscated is approximately 400,000 of the 800,000 liters of diesel transferred to Gaza weekly and intended for uses such as generators, hospitals, water pumps and sewage pumps. In contrast, Hamas uses this fuel for militant purposes.
Israeli sources said Hamas was preventing the pumping of all the fuel from the Nahal Oz depot's reserves and funneling it to the Strip's gas stations. In the past week, only a small amount of fuel and diesel was pumped from the depot, leaving some 820,000 liters of diesel and 200,000 of gas in the depots, they said.

I personally don't understand why my stupid government supplies anything to the Gazans . Israel has no obligation whatsoever toward Gaza citizens they have open border with Egypt. So I don't understand what the problem at all also if they can smuggle katyashas they can smuggle everything else. I say Israel should help some African country like Namibia instead at least they don't throw rockets at as.
