JERUSALEM (JTA) — Two Palestinian sisters attempting to cross into Israel from the Gaza Strip so that one could receive cancer treatment were caught smuggling explosives.
The explosives, used in the production of homemade bombs, were hidden in tubes carried by the women labeled “medical materials,” the Shin Bet security service said in a statement issued Wednesday evening, hours after the women were stopped at the Erez Crossing.
The sisters were approved for entry into Israel so that one could receive potentially life-saving treatment for her illness.
According to the Shin Bet statement, a preliminary investigation showed that the explosives were sent by Hamas be used in a terrorist attack on Israeli targets in the “near future.”
The incident “attests to the ongoing efforts by terrorist organizations based in the Gaza Strip, especially Hamas, to exploit Israel’s humanitarian initiatives and the medical assistance that it provides to residents of the Gaza Strip, in order to perpetrate attacks in Israel,” the Shin Bet said.
The women are being held for questioning.
Defense Ministry Crossings Authority Director Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Kamil Abu Rokon praised the Erez Crossing security inspectors for thwarting the smuggling bid.
“To our regret, it has been proven again that Gaza Strip-based terrorists are continuing their efforts to exploit the humanitarian channel in order to carry out attacks in Israel,” he said in a statement. “The security inspectors acted exactly as expected, with exemplary professionalism.”
Imagine that...
The situation seems to suggest it’s own solution...
TC
Well there’s gratitude :)
Geez.
I’m sure hamas has no problem telling folks they’ll kill their families if they don’t do these kinds of things but i bet most are willing anyway
Barbarians acting like barbarians
No cancer treatment FOR YOU!!
Ice of the Arab terrorists to supply the explosives. Blow them the hell up!
Go back to Gaza and die of your cancer then.
The line from the movie “Lifeboat” comes to mind.
“What kind of people are these?”
My first thought was give them both chemo.
Interesting name. Israeli Arab?
Reminds me of a video interview with a Palestinian woman at an Israeli hospital where her little son had received life saving treatment. She said she would still gladly have him be a suicide bomber to kill Jews. She said that other people don’t understand that life in this world means nothing to them and it is an honor to die for Allah. She laughed at other cultures that value this life.
He’s a Druze.
So...Pali Chicks R Homicidal Nutz? Who’d a thunk it? ;)
“My first thought was give them both chemo.”
I asked Beau to buy me something VERY EXPENSIVE that I didn’t NEED for my last birthday. He bought me a round of Chemo.
Ba-Dump-Dump!
Thanks! I’ll be here all week! Try the veal and don’t forget to tip your Waitress!
Can not love evil to rightiousness.
American Liberals aka Obama/Hitlery followers would have let these two terrorists into our country without checking and been shocked when they blew themselves up and killed innocent Americans.
>Two Palestinian sisters attempting to cross into Israel from the Gaza Strip so that one could receive cancer treatment were caught smuggling explosives.
Two candidates to exhibit what can happen when such evil as theirs is caught in the act...
Jail them with no interface with any human.
Treat their cancer while leaving them to suffer painfully for life in solitary.
You can never reward evil with an early escape from their evil.
“would have”
They did.
We just need to find them now.
