500,000 bullets on way to Gaza

[IMRA: Since the PA plans to put the members of the various terrorist groups
on the PA payroll - and this as intact units - DM Mofaz's restriction, if
honored, would mean that terrorist groups only get the bullets if they
agreed to also draw a salary from the PA.]

Bullets to be used by PA police, Palestinian sources tell Ynet. Israel
approves delivery on condition bullets used by police only, after PA
complained it lacked ammunition

A delivery of 500,000 rifle bullets is expected to reach the Gaza strip in
the coming days, perhaps even as soon as Thursday, through the Rafah border
crossing, Palestinian sources have told Ynet.

The bullets, which will be shipped from Egypt, are intended for use by the
Palestinian police. Israel has already given its permission to the
transport, on condition that the bullets are used solely by the Palestinian
Authority, and not by any other armed factions.

Egyptian security personal and instructors who are currently staying in Gaza
will supervise the shipment's arrival, including the storage and
distribution of the bullets.

During negotiations between the Egyptians and the Palestinians on the terms
of the delivery, the Egyptians have posed strict conditions for the process
of the bullets' delivery and distribution, the sources added.

Mofaz gives green light

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz has recently authorized the bullets' shipment,
to comply with Palestinian requests to allow more arms to enter the Strip
and strengthen the PA security system's ability to fight anarchy and enforce
law and order in Gaza.

At this stage, Israel has agreed only on the transfer of bullets to be used
by the Palestinian police.
