An Iranian 150-ton freighter loaded with short- and
long-range missiles left Iran
Sunday for Gaza.
The cargo included 220 short-range missiles and 50 improved
long-range Fajar-5 rockets, intelligence sources told DEBKAfile, a
Jerusalem-based military intelligence website.
The Fajar-5s have a 200-kilo warhead, the site said.
DEBKAfile said sources report four big Sudanese shipping
boats sailed out of Port Sudan
early Monday and are waiting to rendezvous with the freighter Cargo Star and
offload its missile cargo at sea. Tehran
would then tell the Sudanese the route to take to the Sinai coast, and the missiles
would be smuggled through tunnels into Gaza,
the report said.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces have killed more than 100
Palestinians during the six-day conflict in Gaza,
Palestinians said Monday.
The Ma'an News Agency reported an Israeli airstrike injured eight
civilians, two seriously, in the bombing of a family home in Jabaliya refugee
camp in northern Gaza. A physically
disabled man, Muhammad Zeidan, was killed in an airstrike on an agricultural
area near al-Nuseirat.
Israeli planes also bombed a tower block housing several
international media offices in Gaza
for the second day, Ma'an said, killing a military leader of Islamic Jihad and
a civilian.
