On Wednesday 7 Tammuz, at the Kerem Shalom Crossing point, Ministry of Defense Crossing Authority officials, in collaboration with the Shin Bet stopped an Israeli pull-trailer transporting a large shipment of spare auto parts on its way to Gaza.

The trailer aroused the suspicion of officials and closer inspection revealed a 4×4 pickup dismantled into ten parts. It was deconstructed in a way to facilitate reassembly, even including packages of screws. The unearthed vehicle is a favorite of Hamas’ military wing and is often used by its operatives.

The parts were confiscated and an investigation has been launched to locate those involved and responsible.
