Israel Says It Confiscated Explosives Smuggled in From Gaza

Israel‘s Shin Bet domestic security agency said on Wednesday that it had intercepted 13 pounds of TNT that had been successfully smuggled into Israel from the Gaza Strip through the Karni crossing point. The explosives are believed to have been on the way to terrorists for use against Israel. Israeli security agents arrested three Israeli Arabs and a Palestinian in connection with the incident. The Palestinians report that three people were wounded when Israeli residents of post-1967 territories attacked olive farmers with rocks and metal bars. That incident took place at one of the "illegal outposts" Israel has repeatedly promised to dismantle in accord with the Road Map peace plan, but has not done so.
