Security contractors check for weaponry in cars returning to northern Gaza
[IsraelTimes] IDF says it carried out drone strike as warning to vehicle trying to bypass checkpoint; armed Hamas operatives seen among crowds of Palestinians traveling by foot to north of StripSecurity contractors have started inspecting vehicles in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... to prevent heavy weaponry from being moved to the north of the enclave, where tens of thousands of Paleostinians were returning to on Monday. An Egyptian official said Egyptian contractors, along with a US firm, were running checkpoints to inspect vehicles heading to the northern Gaza Strip via the Salah a-Din Road. The contractors are part of an Egyptian-Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... i committee implementing the ceasefire, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. A Paleostinian businessman who crossed through a checkpoint told the New York Times  ...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... that US security personnel wearing dark fatigues checked cars, while soldiers speaking an Egyptian dialect of Arabic organized the movement of vehicles and the passengers they let off while the inspections are conducted. "The car inspection and crossing take no more than a minute or two," he was quoted as saying. "They asked me to open the trunk and hood, and then wished me safe travels." An Israeli official, who confirmed the inspections began Monday, described the team operating the inspections as "multinational," but gave no further details except to say it included a private American security firm. Reports last week said the US company Safe Reach Solutions will be responsible for the operational management of crossings along the corridor, while another American firm and an Egyptian company perform the inspections. The official also vowed Israel will continue to act against violations of the ceasefire terms, which the Israel Defense Forces reported doing several times on Monday. In central Gaza, a dronezap was carried out as a warning after a vehicle attempted to travel to north Gaza via an area that is prohibited for vehicular traffic per the agreement, and as such would not have undergone inspection, the IDF said. Paleostinian media had reported a dronezap on a tractor trying to push through a barrier in Nuseirat. In several areas of Gaza where troops are still deployed, the military said troops also fired warning shots at suspects approaching them. In one incident in northern Gaza, the IDF said troops targeted a suspect who did not withdraw after initial warning shots were fired. The incidents came as masses of Paleostinians streamed along roads leading to northern Gaza, with images showing armed and masked Hamas  ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...operatives flashing the victory sign among the returning crowds. Unlike with vehicles, the ceasefire exempts Paleostinians traveling on foot from inspections, though they are not supposed to be carrying weapons. Hamas released a brief statement claiming that "more than 300,000 displaced" Paleostinians "returned today... to the governorates of the north" of Gaza, a figure that could not be verified independently. The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... said over 200,000 people were observed moving north on Monday morning. During the 15 months of fighting, Israel was wary about allowing the movement of Gazooks from the south to the north fearing Hamas would use the opportunity to reposition its fighters. Under the terms of the ceasefire agreement, residents of northern Gaza were initially due to return over the weekend but Israel said that Hamas had broken the deal by failing to release civilian hostage Arbel Yehoud and kept the crossings closed. Late on Sunday, Qatari mediators said Hamas had agreed to release Yehoud and two other hostages — one of them female soldier Agan Berger — before Friday and that Israel would in return allow displaced Paleostinians to return to northern Gaza starting Monday morning. Three men were to be released on Saturday. Jerusalem also said Hamas had finally sent a list detailing the conditions of the remaining hostages set to be released in the ongoing, 42-day first phase of the ceasefire, which began on January 19. Both the failure to send this list by Saturday and Hamas’s failure to free Yehoud before releasing four IDF servicewomen had been regarded by Israel as violations of the truce deal.
