Potentially.

The main ingredient in Hamas' rocket fuel is sugar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_candy

That would be an acceptable justification for confiscating sugar. If Hamas were making rocket fuel somehow out of baby formula, then yes, that would be an acceptable justification.

That said baby formula cannot in fact be meaningfully used to make explosives, so this is not acceptable.

Starving infants is morally justifiable if it's possible to make a rocket from their food?

[gsinclair]

Preventing the entry of something that can be made into a weapon is justified, yes. If you want to call that “starving children”, that’s up to you.

[falconroar]

Withholding food from children results in children starving. It’s not semantics.

[margalabargala]

Only in the same way that pointing at a starving infant as a prop is a moral justification for using food meant for the infant instead to manufacture weapons.
