Gaza – Electricity Fuel Being Used for Kassam Rockets
IDF intelligence fears that fuel being given to power the Gaza Strip is being used by terrorists to fuel Kassam rockets. Last week both Israel and international organizations went to check Gaza fuel stores which had recently been refilled only to find them empty. The Arabs had no satisfactory answer for the disappearance of the fuel. Last week Fatah Prime Minister Salaam Fayad accused the Hamas of stealing the fuel and using it for “private uses”. Yesterday the EU representative to the region ask the Israeli fuel company Dor to stop supplying Gaza with fuel and said the EU would do the same.
