Israel gives Palestinians Ebola screening equipment

Acquiescing to request from Palestinian Authority, Israel transfers special thermometer, hazman suits, dozens of laboratory kits, to be used in Rafah Crossing in Gaza Strip.

Israel transferred Ebola screening tools on Sunday to Palestinian Authority in the hopes it will help PA officials in diagnosing the virus among those entering the West Bank from Jordan and the Gaza Strip through the Rafah Crossing. The transfer was made following a Palestinian request.

The aim behind the move, among other reasons, is to prevent the possible spread of the deadly virus not only in the Gaza Strip, but into Israel's territories as well. As part of the agreement, the Allenby border crossing with Jordan will also be supplied with the detection devices.

The medical equipment was transferred to the Health Ministry offices in the Gaza Strip, from where it was taken to the Rafah Crossing. Hamas is the sole party responsible for the transport of the equipment once it reaches Gaza.

The equipment includes a special thermometer that can measure a person's temperature with no bodily contact, which was transferred to Hamas security forces, who have exclusive control over the Rafah area. Also transferred were dozens of laboratory kits for diagnosing the virus through the use of a blood test, as well as protective suits.

The act of collaboration benefits both parties, as Israel recognizes the possibility that the reach of the deadly virus to the Gaza Strip, imported from African countries, increases the chances that the disease could spread into Israeli territories.

In recent weeks, the Rafah Crossing was closed due to the latest terrorist attack in Sinai, but the transfer of the equipment has already been made to ensure that Gaza's Health Ministry officials will be able to prepare accordingly.

So they can be positive that the suicide bombers will cause dozens of secondary infections of Ebola to innocent Israelis.

All the equipment will be sold on the black market, and the money will go to buy some more rockets.

Good if you can make bombs from any of it, otherwise they'll have to see what it brings on the black market. Interesting Israel provides the equipment to "occupied" Gaza to screen people entering from Egypt.

Giving ANYTHING to palies bent on destruction of Israel means the gears in their brains will work night and day to figure out ways to NOT use this equipment for any medical purposes, and instead USE it against Israel.

special thermometer that can measure a person's temperature with no bodily contact

Sounds like the guts of new night vision equipment for palie terrorists at the borders to snatch Israelis.

as well as protective suits

"uniforms" to get terrorists into Israeli lines? Helpful to conceal AK-47's?
