Egyptian troops on Tuesday seized nine weapons consignments bound for the Gaza Strip that included anti-aircraft weapons, according to Israeli and Palestinian news reports. In a series of raids across the Sinai Peninsula, which borders Hamas-controlled Gaza, troops recovered machine guns, ammunition, over 170 anti-aircraft shells, 90 artillery shells and anti-tank landmines, the reports said. The arms were discovered in a series of hideouts across the peninsula, while a cache of some 100 kilograms of TNT explosives was found in the border town of Rafah. Egypt opened its border with Gaza in protest against Israel after Israeli commandos killed nine pro-Palestinian activists on a Gaza-bound aid boat in late May. But in recent weeks, the Egyptian government has apparently cracked down on weapons smuggling to Gaza-based militants, destroying cross-border tunnels and seizing arms. According to the Palestinian news agency Ma'an, a cargo of 150 anti-aircraft missiles was captured on August 31. [/quote] This is why Israel likes to bomb smuggling tunnels.
What are you talking about?? They were obviously children's toys!!
Thank god Egypt are in their right mind and don't support Hamas whatsoever.
Go Egypt!
Impressive. Egypt's got a plan.
I love Egypt
Fuck yeah, Egypt.
Well done Egypt.

[QUOTE=ThePutty;24673223]No, it's just Facepunch[/QUOTE] Pretty much, I even brought proof about it last time in another thread. The thread suddenly became oddly silent and died.
[QUOTE=Ridge;24672022]Israel stops food/fishing equipment/medical supplies that they assumed were weapons bound for Gaza and then decide not to release them= Boooh, bad form!!!

No, I think I'm happy with Egypt for going through the effort of raiding areas rather than pull an Israel and bomb the shit out of the place hoping the terrorists are gone with it, ignoring all of the civilians.
[QUOTE=BurnEmDown;24670051]What are you talking about?? They were obviously children's toys!![/QUOTE] I agree, lets just fucking carpet bomb that entire pig pen. FREE ISRAEL!

Good job Egypt!

[QUOTE=Conspiracy;24674178]No, I think I'm happy with Egypt for going through the effort of raiding areas rather than pull an Israel and bomb the shit out of the place hoping the terrorists are gone with it, ignoring all of the civilians.[/QUOTE] Israel didn't bomb the shit out of anyone. The recent attack on the smuggling tunnels killed two civlians (along with 4 smugglers) but it was a fairly surgical strike and definitely not indescriminate bombing. Egypt also has the advantage of being able to send ground troops in to take the place. Israeli troops aren't allowed into Gaza because that's considered occupation so they are forced to use indirect methods if they actually want to do something.
Those weapons were filled with school supplies for orphans! Bastards!
Now all Egypt has to do is build a giant pyramid to store all the weapons they've seized. Let the building begin you peons!

Egypt will just attack Israel if it gets enough weapons.
