Just as the Israelis intercepted a ship carrying weapons- [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1069673-Israel-seizes-Egypt-bound-ship-with-weapons-for-Gaza[/url] [quote]Egyptian security officials said Tuesday that Egypt's armed forces have seized five vehicles carrying weapons into the country from Sudan, apparently headed for Gaza. The officials say the vehicles were intercepted inside Egypt Sunday near the border with Sudan, following a shootout during which the truck drivers fled. They said the trucks were carrying large quantities of mortars, rocket propelled grenades, rifles and explosives. They said they were headed to Hamas-ruled Gaza through smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border. The officials spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity under government regulations. Israeli intelligence officials say Sudan is a major route for Hamas weapons. Last year Sudan accused Israel of carrying out airstrikes on smugglers inside Sudan. Israel did not comment on that report.[/quote] Source- [url]http://www.haaretz.com/news/international/egypt-intercepts-vehicles-carrying-weapons-from-sudan-to-gaza-1.349431[/url] Pretty shitty day for Hamas, eh?

Yep. Not sure what to feel about this, really. On one hand, I'm happy that a shipment of weapons was intercepted - I don't like the idea of people dying. On the other hand, I think Israel is a complete turd for the way they've been behaving with regards to the Palestinians.

OP is pro-Israel.
