Egypt Responsible for Gaza Weapons Shortage – Khaled Abu Toameh (Gatestone Institute)
Abu Mohammed, a Palestinian arms dealer from the border town of Rafah, revealed that the smuggling of weapons from Egypt into Gaza has virtually stopped since February, due to tough new Egyptian security measures.
He complained that it has become impossible to smuggle rockets into Gaza, and that the Egyptian security crackdown has caused a shortage of weapons and ammunition and an upsurge in their price.
