“Goods smuggled in Gaza tunnels, taxed by Hamas”
By Erica Silverman
January 9, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — An elaborate network of tunnels from Egypt has become the primary transport route for commercial goods entering the Gaza Strip, enabling the area’s Hamas rulers to maintain a rudimentary economy in the face of an Israeli embargo.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Other smuggled products range from cigarettes to mobile phones.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Israeli authorities, who say large quantities of weapons also are smuggled through the tunnels, are expected to press President Bush during a visit this week to demand that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak do more to shut down the passages.”
