Plot to Blow Up Israel-Gaza Crossing Foiled
[Israel Defense Forces] Majad Kambaz, 29, of the Popular Resistance Committees in Gaza, who was arrested on Aug. 4, revealed precise information about a tunnel being dug for a deadly terror attack at the Karni crossing. The plan was to place powerful explosives inside the tunnel under the IDF facility at the crossing. On Aug. 27, an IDF operation located a 13-meter shaft and a 150-meter tunnel close to the Karni crossing. Kambaz further revealed that he was involved in a terror attack at Karni crossing on June 13, 2005, in which six Israelis were murdered. The execution of the attack was directed from the roof of Kambaz's house. While crossings in the Gaza Strip are vital to the Palestinians, since they allow the passage of workers and goods, the Karni crossing remains a major target for Palestinian terror organizations.
