Israel says it thwarted smuggling of equipment for Hamas tunnels – The Times of Israel

Israel’s Defense Ministry says it seized filtration equipment at a West Bank crossing that it believes was set to be smuggled into the Gaza Strip to aid Hamas’s tunnel project.
The shipment included filters, valves and instructions in Hebrew on how to assemble the equipment, the Defense Ministry says.
It was confiscated at the Tarkumiyah crossing near Hebron.

As The Times of Israel’s environment reporter, I try to convey the facts and science behind climate change and environmental degradation, to explain – and critique – the official policies affecting our future, and to describe Israeli technologies that can form part of the solution.
I am passionate about the natural world and disheartened by the dismal lack of awareness to environmental issues shown by most of the public and politicians in Israel.
I’m proud to be doing my part to keep Times of Israel readers properly informed about this vital subject – which can and does effect policy change.
