Israel thwarts smuggling of rocket fuel material, commando knives into Gaza

Israeli customs inspectors at the Kerem Shalom border crossing on Tuesday foiled efforts to smuggle graphite bars, used for the production of rocket fuel, and commando knives into Gaza. The bars were headed to a facility of Gaza's electric utility while the knives were hidden in a shipment of tools. The inspectors made the discoveries after receiving a tipoff from the Shin Bet domestic security service.
