Weapons Seizure: The Photos
For the first time, the IDF is releasing photos of Iran’s entire weapons shipment to Gaza terrorists. Iran attempted to hide its involvement in terror, but the evidence is clear and on display

“We have solid information that proves Iran’s relationship with the shipment,” a senior IDF Intelligence officer said Monday. He spoke after a combined IDF task force from various units inspected the Klos-C and unloaded the Iranian weapons shipment concealed aboard the ship. “Firstly, the containers were sealed in Iran, and they have Iranian authenticity seals on them, including seals of the Iranian postal company. The cement bags that were used to hide the weapons were clearly marked as coming from Iran,” he said.
The shipment contained 181 heavy mortars, 400,000 bullets, and dozens of M-302 rockets that have the capability to strike almost anywhere in Israel.
“In the cargo hold of the ship you can see that 100 out of 150 of the containers were transferred from Iran to Iraq,” the Intelligence officer said. “There they added additional containers, and changed the loading form in order to make it look like the entire shipment came from Iraq. This can be cross-referenced with the documents that we discovered on the ship. Generally speaking, Iran was trying to hide its involvement in any form.”
The shipment would have equipped Gaza terrorist organizations with strike capabilities far exceeding those they currently hold. “We’re talking about weapons that are out of the ordinary; different from previous smuggling attempts. These warheads are far larger than other rockets (currently present in) Gaza. Take the rocket from Operation Pillar of Defense that hit a home in Rishon Lezion. That rocket destroyed one floor. This warhead would have destroyed the entire building.”

Have the shipping documents been released? It would be very interesting to read an (English translation) of the original and changed forms.

Drugs, arms, people and many other things are smuggled in- and out of many countries. The authorities are usually not informed by the smugglers. If an Israeli criminal gang smuggling drugs is busted, does that mean that the Israeli government was involved?

DO you seriously believe the Iranian government did not know about this massive arms shipment? Drugs, human trafficking are one thing.long range missiles are entirely on a different level…the logistics, and planning are not trivial. This is CLEARLY co ordination by Iranian forces…

Sadly we have people like kerry wishing with his eyes closed. We need to help there guys retire, living in La La land is OK for Ivory tower types like Obummer and kerry but deadly for any Jew in Israel.

Actually, John Kerry is an expert. An expert at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by instilling a sense of capitulation and loss in the minds of the victor. This bastard honed his skills during the Vietnam war and was quite effective in it’s outcome.
