15 tons of sulfuric acid intercepted en route to Gaza

[IsraelTimes] Shin Bet, customs agents find substance used in production of explosives, barred from entry to Paleostinian enclave

Israeli border control officials thwarted the attempted smuggling of 15 tons of sulfuric acid to the Gazoo Strip last week.

The acrid smell of the shipment, which was recorded officially as 30 tons of paint thinner, aroused the suspicion of Shin Bet and customs officials at the Nitzana border crossing with Egypt. At least half of the shipment, it turned out, was sulfuric acid.

The truck carrying the shipment was then stopped at the Kerem Shalom crossing, before it could enter the enclave, the authorities said.

Sulfuric acid is banned from import to the Gazoo Strip through Israel. It is a key component in producing explosives such as nitroglycerin and TNT.

According to Channel 2, the quantities seized were sufficient to produce three tons of explosives.

#2  I guess this Islamic enterprise is shut for now.
They will probably be back to ruining young Girls and blowing up Families in a week.

So it goes.

#1  I suppose they might have only intended to throw it in the faces of teenage girls.
