Israel Finds Explosives in Salt Destined to Gaza

Israel announced Tuesday that customs officials thwarted a plot to smuggle explosive materials into the Hamas-run Gaza Strip by concealing them in shipments of salt.

From Haaretz:

Customs workers and Shin Bet officers thwarted an attempt to smuggle four tons of ammonium chloride to the Gaza Strip.

The substance, concealed inside sacks of salt in a pre-Passover shipment, was enough to arm hundreds of long-range rockets.

“This case underscores the activity of Gaza-based terrorist organizations in smuggling dual-use materials disguised as goods destined for the civilian population and reconstruction projects,” Israel’s tax authorities said in a statement.
