PA uncovers huge Hamas arms cache

[oberliner]

The Palestinian Authority has foiled terror attacks planned by Hamas by discovering a number of arms caches in Nablus, a security official in Ramallah told Ynet on Sunday night.

The attacks, according to the official, were meant to be carried out in the West Bank and apparently in Israel as well.

The Palestinian official said the caches contained hundreds of kilograms of explosives, ammunition and weapons. He said the PA is looking into the possibility that at least one large-scale terror attack was planned.

The caches were discovered following the arrest of a senior member of Hamas' armed wing. The man led the Palestinian Preventive Security Force to the storehouses in Nablus.

After the arrest, the Hamas man led the Palestinian security forces to the Nablus storehouses, where they were astonished to discover the huge cache which defined as unprecedented.

According to the security source, this was the biggest cache of Hamas weapons and explosives uncovered by the Palestinian Authority.

1. Seems a bit over the top.

Some of it might be translation issues. One example: "they were astonished to discover the huge cache which defined as unprecedented".

2. Also the entire report appears to be based on the claims of one unnamed security official

So far I have not seen this reported anywhere else.

3. Well, that is certainly HUGE!

The invading occupiers dropped 100 tons of explosives on the people they had penned up in Gaza. And have megatons in reserve. But they are frightened and pushed into a frenzy of cornered-rat kill-em-all fear and rage when some harmless noisemaker comes out of Gaza. And so they slaughter 1400. How admirable.

4. That's a lot of buses, discos and pizza shops. nt

5. "some harmless noisemaker comes out of Gaza"

And the rest of your statement becomes meaningless.

I guess you're part of the "How dare the Israelis defend themselves" school.
