Palestinian Interior Ministry: Israel’s claim about Gaza-bound arms aim to justify its siege

indir (7)Spokesman for the Palestinian interior ministry Islam Shahwan said that the Israeli occupation’s claims about capturing Gaza-bound weapons aboard a cargo ship is aimed to justify its blockade on the Strip.

In remarks on his facebook page on Wednesday, Shahwan said these Israeli claims came after some pro-Palestinian groups in Europe declared recently their intentions to attempt visiting Gaza by sea in an effort to break the blockade imposed on its population.

The spokesman noted that the Gaza coast is under tight blockade by Israel and thus no ship can arrive without being intercepted by its navy, stressing that the Palestinian resistance is not stupid to bring arms by sea.

The Israeli naval forces claimed that a special unit raided a ship in the territorial waters of The Sudan in the Red Sea early Wednesday and seized a shipment of dozens of advanced rockets from Iran destined to the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
