(Times of Israel) Judah Ari Gross - Two Palestinian women from Gaza tried to smuggle explosives into Israel using tubes labeled for medication, taking advantage of an entry permit issued for one of them to seek cancer treatment in Israel, the Israel Security Agency said Wednesday. The explosives were "sent by Hamas and it is believed that they were meant to be used to carry out attacks in Israel in the near future," the ISA said. The explosives were hidden inside tubes labeled "medical materials" and were to be used to manufacture improvised explosive devices. "Unfortunately, this is more proof that terror groups in Gaza are continuing to take advantage of humanitarian channels to export terror into Israel," said Defense Ministry Crossings Authority Director Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Kamil Abu Rokon.
