(Times of Israel) Elhanan Miller - Maj.-Gen. Osama Askar, commander of Egypt's Third Field Army, said Wednesday that 19 Grad rockets intercepted by the military on the Suez-Cairo highway were of the same brand as those used by Hamas' military wing, the Izz ad-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, and were on their way to Cairo "to help the Muslim Brotherhood against the Egyptian people." "The confiscated rockets were enough to destroy an entire neighborhood, indicating they were on their way to be used in terror activities against the Egyptian people," Askar told the Egyptian news site Aswat Masriya. He added that smuggled army uniforms captured by his troops last Sunday "were enough for an entire army."
