| Chinese scopes found in shipment to Gaza |
| 2006-05-03 |
| Hundreds of combat support items were found Tuesday morning in a shipping container sent from China to the Gaza Strip. Customs officers at the Ashdod Port made the discovery while scanning the container. The container's importers said their shipment includes sewing notions, hats and clocks. Customs officers however confiscated 300 telescopes, some of which have sights and infrared markers for long-range targets. Security officials said the items are of good quality and had they reached the Gaza Strip they would have certainly improved terror groups' ability to hit IDF targets. |

| #1 When illegal items are found hidden in an otherwise legal shipment, confiscate the entire shipment. Publically destroy the illegal items, unless the government can use them, and sell the legal items on the open market to fund clearly necessary extra inspection efforts. |
