| [Ma'an] Egyptian security forces thwarted a weapons-smuggling operation into the Gaza Strip on Monday, a security source said. Forces along the border city of Rafah received information that explosives prepared for smuggling through the tunnel complex were being stored in a warehouse 120 meters from the border in the Al-Ahrash neighborhood, the source said. According to the official, a security patrol with sniffer dogs was dispatched to the scene where 10 small bags containing half a ton of TNT explosives were found.
The stash also included mortar shells and 30 anti-aircraft missiles from the World War II, and were removed and prepared for a controlled detonation, the source said. World War II anti-aircraft missiles? Must have missed that episode of the Military Channel. | |
