for someone in Egypt if not hamas. . it doesn't matter who it was meant for, it matters that Iran, yet again, got busted!
3. Islamic jihad and Hamas: The same Drek.

4. Well
John ,   Herzliya   (03.06.14)
It is your moral duty, since they were paid by Hamas, to send these rockets by air one by one as a retaliation for each Kassam coming from Gaza. This will reduce costs for IAF operations significantly.
5. Surely Hamas can't have long

buy cement and get free rockets.
8. No, No, it's all a mistake
Chaim ,   Arad   (03.06.14)
You see, children in Gaza need milk, food and diapers, and medical supplies. Poor Iran, ran out of shipment boxes and FEDX won't deliver to Gaza. The only thing they had to ship in was missiles. Gaza was not going to send them to Israel, they would just shoot them straight up in the air, they would explode, and all the supplies would float down to the people. Israel spoiled it all. Well, I thought that excuse was just as good as the Hamas. IDF, lob them back to Iran to do what they were intended for.
9. Quit guessing, we know for sure
David ,   On this planet   (03.06.14)
who the missiles were for. ISRAEL and they got them. Thank you Iran we also got a nice ship
10. Doubts
Raimo Kangasniemi ,   Juupajoki, Finland   (03.06.14)
This whole claim by Israel doesn't make much sense - Iran doesn't have to go for Syria to get armaments - and is far too neat connecting Syria, Iran and Gaza just at this exact moment. If somebody would be smuggling weapons from Syria to Gaza, the easiest way would be through Jordan and from there to Sinai. Iran's regime isn't as stupid as to give exactly what Israel's own needs for it's purposes at this moment.

If you see a map you will see that jordan does not border the sinai. They have to cross the sea from their only port town Aqaba. They would get caught then they load the cargo at Aqaba. But even getting across Jordan is difficult because Jordan is allied with Israel and the USA. There are thousands of US troops stationed in Jordan as well. The borders of Jordan are being patrolled. Thats why the weapons were transferred through Iraq and then to Sudan. From Sudan they can just go undetected through the Egyptian desert.
12. 1 not mine.
