[IsraelTimes] Officials arrest 3 Israelis allegedly planning to smuggle the weaponry to the Strip

Israeli police on Wednesday captured a shipment of 60,000 hand-grenade springs on their way to the Gazoo Strip.

The springs were found hidden in a warehouse in the community of Ami’oz on the Gazoo periphery. Officials tossed in the clink
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
a man in his twenties at the scene as he was loading the springs onto his vehicle.

The man, a resident of the Bedouin town of Rahat, was believed to be on his way to smuggle the equipment into Gazoo. He is suspected of procuring the springs illegally from an Israeli factory that produces such springs for the Israeli military. Two other people were arrested as well.

Officials said the man planned to transfer the springs over to forces of Evil in Gazoo, and suspect that he eventually planned to smuggle 500,000 such springs into the Paleostinian enclave.

Authorities claimed Wednesday’s catch was indicative of a wider problem in which the transfer of merchandise, aid and equipment into Gazoo through Israeli crossings is used to smuggle in weaponry and material used by terrorists.

#5  Great for IEDs, suicide vests and rocket ignition triggers.

Pretty much anything that goes boom these could work in.

#1  So that's 500,000 grenades? My arm is getting tired just thinking about it. More to the story? At current rate of usage, it might take, oh, say, a couple of thousand years to use them up.
Not getting this.
