Hamas Getting Supplies for Rockets and Tunnels through Israel
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff - Hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza, members of Hamas, are continuing to build new attack tunnels to reach Israel in the next war and smuggling tunnels to Sinai. Hamas is putting an enormous amount of effort, personnel and money into digging with heavy engineering equipment. Israel has discovered that material vital to the tunnel industry, as well as material for rocket manufacture, is being smuggled from Israel into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom border crossing. Recent seizures at Kerem Shalom uncovered enough rocket fuel for 4,480 20-km.-range rockets. The fuel had been concealed in bags containing a different material. Also seized was one ton of "solidifying material," an ingredient used in rocket production, enough for 50 80-km.-range rockets.
