Navy prevents tobacco smugglers from reaching Gaza

The Israel Navy captured two Palestinians with dozens of bags of tobacco worth hundreds of thousands of shekels, destined to be smuggled from Egypt to the Gaza Strip, the IDF announced Tuesday.

The Navy identified a fishing boat heading in the direction of moorings in the southern Gaza Strip. The boat was heavy in the water; a fact that indicated it was carrying a great deal of weight on board, in contrast to other fishing boats.

The two Palestinians on board the boat only surrendered after Military forces on board the Dvora Reconnaissance boat fired in the air.

They were transferred to the Ashdod port for Shin Bet questioning in order to determine if they were connected to terror organizations or whether the smuggling attempt was criminally motivated.
