The IDF thwarted an attempt to smuggle materials, meant for manufacturing rockets, into the Gaza Strip in early May, The army released for publication Friday morning.

Two Palestinian vessels entered the forbidden area in the southern Gaza Strip on May 11, in violation of the security regulations and the armistice directives. The navy seized the vessels and the four suspects on them were transferred to interrogation of security forces.The Shin Bet investigation revealed that the suspects were on their way from the Gaza Strip to the Sinai coast of Egypt as part of an attempt to smuggle prohibited weaponry from the Gaza Strip; 24 barrels of "fiberglass" used by the Hamas terrorist organization to manufacture missiles.

The suspects were accused of being associated with and attempting to aid Hamas; planning to carry our terror related killings; and aiding terror organizations.

This joint effort of the IDF and security forces, aimed at stopping Hamas, is part of a long-term strategy of preventing terror activity and defending the citizens of the State of Israel.

Colonel Yuval Ayalon, commander of the southern naval arena said:

"We set clear boundaries in the maritime sphere of the Gaza Strip. Borders that on the one hand allow fishermen to make a living, while at the same time attempt to destroy the attempts of terror organizations that threaten to harm Israel by sea. Dedicated and professional soldiers and commanders are working day and night to maintain Israel's security in its maritime borders, and so did the fighters of Division 916, who combined with the authorities and intelligence services, thwart a dangerous smuggling attempt into the Gaza Strip.
