Hamas said to seize military boots with tracking devices at Gaza crossing
2019-02-18
[IsraelTimes] Security source in Gazoo tells Ottoman Turkish news agency Israel attempted to send the boots to the Strip to spy on members of terrorist groups.

Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,-run security forces at the Kerem Shalom crossing in the Gazoo Strip have seized a shipment of army boots outfitted with tracking devices, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
’s state-run news agency
...and if you can't trust the state-run news agency who can you believe?...
Anadolu reported on Saturday, citing a security source in the coastal enclave.

Hamas security forces were carrying out "a precise inspection of the tracking devices in order to... understand how they work," the security source said.

Pictures and videos shared on Twitter appeared to show the military boots and the tracking devices that were planted in them.

Shipments that go into Gazoo through Kerem Shalom typically pass through the Israeli part of the crossing, followed by the Paleostinian Authority- and Hamas-controlled portions of it.

Hamas, an Islamist terrorist group sworn to Israel’s destruction, has controlled Gazoo since ousting the Fatah-dominated PA in 2007. However,

employees of the Ramallah-based PA government have continued to coordinate the entry of goods into the Strip through Kerem Shalom.

The security source accused Israel of attempting to send the boots into Gazoo to "spy on members of the resistance and to follow their movements," noting they resemble a design that terrorist groups in the coastal enclave wear.

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, the branch of the Defense Ministry that oversees the entry of goods into Gazoo, declined to comment.

The IDF referred questions to the Defense Ministry spokesperson, who did not respond to a request for comment.

The security source in Gazoo said that the Hamas-run security forces were now also imposing "strict security measures" at Kerem Shalom including a "precise inspection" of everything that enters and exits the coastal enclave.

The source added that the measures were put into place after it was proven the Israeli army was "exploiting" the crossing to bring spying materials into Gazoo.
