Israel arrests Palestinian attempting to smuggle explosives to Hamas
The Israeli authorities arrested in August a 24-year-old Gazan man who was attempting to smuggle explosives and weapons-making materials into the strip.
The man, Hamis Jahed Said a-Raishi, was caught by the Israeli Navy while attempting to smuggle the materials in by boat. During questioning by the Shin Bet, it was revealed that he had been performing smuggling operations on behalf of Hamas and other Gaza-based terror groups since 2012.
