Navy Foils Weapons Smuggling into Gaza - Hanan Greenberg
On Saturday, Ashdod region Israeli Navy Commander Yoram Lax reported, "We hit two swimmers who attempted to smuggle in combat means from Egypt to the Gaza Strip" in "another incident in a series of smuggling attempts thwarted in the past two weeks." "We are seeing terror group motivation to smuggle combat means by sea," he added. In Saturday's incident, a joint force of naval commandos and forces aboard a Navy vessel spotted two swimmers carrying bags containing weapons. IDF officials estimate the two were carrying what they termed "special weapons," rather than guns and other arms that are usually smuggled in on the ground. "Usually it's not worthwhile to undertake such efforts in order to smuggle regular combat means," a Navy official said. (Ynet News)
