DEBKAfile reports: First Israeli ground force incursion of Gaza Strip since 2005 pullout detains two brothers, Hamas activists and scions of major Palestinian arms smuggling clanDEBKAfile identifies them as Mustafa and Osama Muamar. After detaining the pair in the southern town of Rafah, the force crossed back into Israel with its two captives. Our sources reveal that the Muamar clan is in charge of moving the Grad 122mm rockets landed into Sudan from Iran and their delivery into Hamas hands in the Gaza Strip. Osama had only just returned home from meeting Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers in Khartoum and asking them to speed up consignments.
Our military sources report that this was first overt Israeli troop incursion of Gaza since the August 2005 withdrawal and also the first IDF attempt to grapple with the flood of smuggled arms reaching terrorist hands in Gaza since Israel’s disengagement.
The ground action was finally approved in direct response to the critical expose published by DEBKAfile’s military sources on this site Friday, June 23. The Olmert government was revealed as imposing five taboos to tie IDF hands in combating the Palestinian missile blitz against Sderot and the western Negev.
One taboo banned Israeli ground ambushes and raids behind Palestinian lines in Gaza.
