‘Humanitarian Aid’ Enables Palestinian Terrorism

In June 2010, Israeli intelligence issued a warning that “Hamas uses cement for military needs,” especially in the construction of munitions supply tunnels.

Yet in November 2011, the Israel Civil Administration, which reports to the Israel Ministry of Defense, approved the shipment of massive cement supplies for the construction of 75 United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school buildings in Gaza.

At the time, our news agency asked the Israel Civil Administration if any of the contractors in Gaza who received the cement deliveries were connected to terror groups or to the Gaza regime itself, which is controlled by Hamas.

The Israel Civil Administration responded that it did not know the identities of the contractors who received the cement.

We also asked sources in Israeli intelligence at the time if there had been any change in their assessment that Hamas could indeed use the cement for lethal purposes.

The answer from Israeli intelligence was that there had been no change in that assessment.

One entity did praise the transfer of cement into Gaza: UNRWA.
