From Israeli officials foil sulfuric acid transfer to Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli border control officials prevented the transfer of 15 tons of sulfuric acid to the Gaza Strip last week.
The acrid smell of the shipment, which was recorded officially as 30 tons of paint thinner, aroused the suspicion of officials at the Nitzana crossing and the Shin Bet. The truck was then stopped at the Kerem Shalom crossing, before entering the enclave, according to Hebrew reports.
According to Channel 2, the materials were sufficient to produce several tons of explosives.
