Dozens of smuggling attempts by mail were foiled in recent weeks at the Erez
Crossing, on the Israel-Gaza barrier. The pressure exerted by a joint task
force, comprised of the Israel Security Agency (ISA), the Coordinator of
Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Customs, Israeli police
and the Israeli Crossing Points Authority in the Minisrty of Defense,
compels terrorist organizations to devise original smuggling methods. It
seems that they are taking advantage of the postal services that Israel
allows into the Gaza Strip.

In recent weeks, the Israeli Crossing Points Authority at the Erez Crossing,
together with the Israel Security Agency, thwarted dozens of attempts to
smuggle weapons and combat support equipment via mail. Some of the seized
postal packages included drones, which were dismantled and sent to Gaza in
parts.

Just this morning (Monday), 10 drone motors in postal packages were seized
at the Erez crossing. The authorities also seized rifle sights, Gyro means
of enhancing accuracy, magnifying ranges and increasing signal strength for
the use of cell phones in areas without reception, transceiver to transmit a
video signal at a frequency of 5.8GHz, which is not approved for use in the
Palestinian Authority nor in Israel. The equipment was confiscated and an
investigation was launched to locate those involved in stealing the weapons
and combat support equipment and attempting to smuggle them into Gaza.
