IDF uncovers Iranian-made explosive device in Gaza

[DUIC]

Engineering Corps officers have spent the past few weeks studying a powerful explosive device placed alongside other charges near the border fence and meant to target an IDF force. The explosives were successfully dismantled.

The device was found to contain unmistakable Iranian trademarks similar to previously intercepted weapons with Revolutionary Guards stamps on them which had made their way to the Gaza Strip.

A military source from the IDF's Gaza Division explained that the army has previously discovered devices it suspects were manufactured in Iran, but that in this case there was no doubt the explosives were Iranian-made.

The past year has seen in drop in the amount of explosives uncovered by the army in Gaza with an average of 50 explosive fields detected a year. The majority of the devices did not detonate and were discovered by scouts and Engineering Corps combatants and with the help of the Military Intelligence Directorate.

1. ....hmmmm

When i see stuff like this it makes me wonder if it is a 'plant' to drum up more support for a war.... how do we know the device has "distinctly iranian markings" ...?

2. I agree..

but I'd quibble with the emphasis on "know" and make the emphasis on "we" .. as in ordinary citizens..


iow, the IDF makes shit up all the time, that's their mission it seems. (Just like our U.S. Military, State Dept, and the rest of the Freaks that hold positions of power) ..

Anything bloodthirsty crazies can do to justify war is given a green light by the "authorities"..
