US EditionIsrael says it found 16 tons of rocket-making substance headed from Turkey to Gaza
- During an inspection of a shipment from Turkey to Gaza, Israel's customs authority discovered 16 tons of material used for rocket production, including ammonium chloride. This material is believed to be used by groups in Gaza to create rockets that are launched towards Israel.
- The discovery comes in the midst of ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hamas, with the Israeli defense ministry also previously thwarting attempts to smuggle explosives and reconnaissance drones into Gaza. Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade on Gaza since 2007, causing economic devastation for the 2.3 million Palestinians living in the densely populated area.
- The seizure of rocket production material highlights ongoing security concerns in the region, as well as the increasing efforts by Hamas to attract support in the occupied West Bank. This incident also adds to a series of past discoveries of firearms and ammunition hidden in shipments from Gaza.
