Palestinians have smuggled drones and camera equipment into Gaza by hiding them inside of washing machines and television sets, the Shin Bet says.
- You won't believe what people try to smuggle into Israel
- Attorney general to indict Arab lawmaker over smuggling phones 'for terrorist use'
- 'Had I known the package contained 12 phones, I wouldn't have brought it into prison'
The equipment , destined for Hamas, was relayed via the Kerem Shalom crossing. Some of the smugglers were aware that the cameras were destined for Hamas.
In September, the Shin Bet said it had exposed a smuggling ring of Israeli Arabs sneaking SUVs into Gaza for Hamas. In July two Palestinians from Gaza were arrested for smuggling in money for Hamas.
