The ammo railroad

JPost reports on how many weapons have made it into Gaza with the Israeli army pulling back and letting the PA police make an effort to control it. Note the lethality and scale of the weaponry.

What will happen when Israel pre-emptively surrenders and turns over the territory in its entirety to Egypt and PA police?

Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas have intensified their efforts to smuggle weapons from Egypt to cells operating in the territories, with the increasing involvement of Negev Beduin, according to details from an internal Shin Bet document obtained by The Jerusalem Post.

The document revealed that between July and February, 180 anti-tank rockets, five anti-aircraft missiles, 600 kilograms of explosives, 3,000 rifles, 400 handguns and 400,000 rounds of ammunition were smuggled from Egypt into the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
