Don’t Rock the Boat

Reports from Cyprus now indicate there was good reason for stopping the Iranian ship Monchegorsk that had been detained in a Cypriot port.  According to a Reuters report, the boat carried illicit materials that could have been used for weapons production.

JPost reports today on a new weapon developed by terrorists in Gaza: the medicine grenade (with photos).  Apparently,

The
medicine bottles
were filled with explosives, holes were drilled in the caps, and fuses were installed. Once Hamas fighters lit the fuses, they had several seconds to throw the grenades at soldiers. The IDF also found small explosive devices that used medical syringes to hold their fuses.

It appears, therefore, that Hamas and other terrorist groups are intent on building their weapons cache from anything remotely useful.  (First we saw them use pipes and concrete, then the people of Gaza, now humanitarian aid.)
