Inspectors in Israel this week thwarted an attempt to smuggle several oxygen concentrators for use in aerating tunnels operated by terrorist groups in Gaza, according to two senior Israeli officials.
The truck was barred from entering Gaza. The officials did not provide a photo of the devices or disclose which organization had sent the truck. The trucks, which first enter Egypt, undergo initial inspections there before being driven into Israel, coming through the Nitzana crossing. There, they are inspected by the Israeli Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories military liaison before they are sent to Egypt to head to Gaza, an Israeli official said. Meanwhile, Israel is rejecting calls to allow fuel to be sent into Gaza, due to concern that Hamas will divert it to power the tunnels.
