Note to Smartass: Do you have a graphic of a worried sheep? If so, this post could use one...Hard to believe grenades are being smuggled inside live sheep's bottom ends. Usually the jihadis put explosives in dead animals and even dead humans, but this seems to be new (at least to me it is).

Variation on a Palestinian folk expression...
Life is like grenade: one day it's in your hand, the next day it's up your sheep's ass:
The IDF and the Shabak (Shin Bet) have foiled numerous attempts by terrorists in the Gaza strip to smuggle hand grenades inside the behinds of sheep.
The new method was foiled about a month ago after the arrest in the Kahn Younis area of a Arab cell identified with the "Abu Rish" faction of the Tanzim terrorist group. The Arabs tried to smuggle through the Mousai road in the southern Gaza Strip hand grenades inside four sheep belonging to them.
In the last few days Abrihim Draj'am, one of the members of the cell, has been charged with a crime. Draj'am is accused of exploiting the permit given to him by the IDF in order to smuggle weapons in the Gaza strip.
During the month of July, Draj'am tried to smuggle through the pass he worked at eight hand grenades in the behinds of live sheep that were passing at the passageway. The hand grenades were to be used to commit terror attacks against soldiers who were stationed at the place. In his investigation Draj'am said he was to receive the sheep with the grenades in their behinds, and then he was to remove the grenades and hide them in his house.
Grenades in a milk kettle
The arrest of Draj'am occured when he was on the way to meeting another terrorist who was supposed to train in on how to insert the grenades into the sheeps behinds. Two of his friends were also arrested.
From an investigation it was found that Draj'am was also in contact with other smugglers who used to smuggle through the Tabuah checkpoint explosive devices inside milk kettles. In the beginning six hand grenades were found inside a milk kettle, and even this smuggling operation Draj'am knew about it.
The IDF says this is the first time they have witnessed an attempt to smuggle explosive materials inside live animals. The IDF worries that terrorist groups have managed, using the same tactic, to smuggle into Gaza and outside of it many arms.
