Holy cow. I hope no other ones actually made it through into Gaza.

Report: Egypt thwarts smuggling of 6 U.S.-made missiles into Gaza

Security forces in northern Sinai thwarted the smuggling of six U.S.-made missiles to the Gaza Strip Friday morning. According to an Egyptian news agency, special police units and border police, assisted by a sapper (combat engineer) located a secret warehouse storing six missiles that were on their way to being smuggled through tunnels into Gaza.

According to the report, intelligence information received by the Egyptian Interior Ministry, with the help of two Bedouin agents in Sinai, led the force to the hideout called Bir Lahfan, just south of Al-Arish, known for being an area smugglers use to hide weapons. It turns out the missiles and their accompanying equipment were already ready to be launched.

The missiles have a range of 75 kilometers, with a launch base and operating system, and Egyptian authorities believe the missiles were smuggled by Libya into the Sinai Peninsula.

Am I reading this right? Egyptian security is helping smuggle other missiles into Gaza?

Another report indicates that this is not the first time missiles and other weapons designated for smuggling to the Gaza Strip. In addition, two weeks ago Egyptian security forces smuggled 17 French-made missiles into Gaza.
