“Humanitarian aid” to the PA: Two tons of explosive material

Once again, Israeli security forces found Palestinians attempting to smuggle material used to make explosives into the Gaza Strip. Two tons of it. That goes along with the six and a half tons of potassium nitrate in UN bags caught a few weeks ago.

Security workers employed by the Israel Airport Authority uncovered two tons of fertilizer used in the manufacturing of Qassam rockets on Monday afternoon, the substantial amount of explosive material was concealed in a truck allegedly transporting humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

The security officials manning the Kerem Shalom border crossing discovered the smuggling attempt during a random inspection of vehicles carrying humanitarian equipment and goods.

This is the second such incident to occur this week.

Hands up, those of you who think this news will make the wire services. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
