2,000 rifles to Palestinian moderates

Israel authorized the delivery of 2,000 rifles to Abu Mazen's troops in Gaza. The shipment was delivered last night.
The shipment included 20,000 ammunition clips in addition to the rifles. The shipment was passed through one of the border passes between Gaza and the Siani desert.
The shipment is intended to assist Abu Mazen in his power struggle with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Last week a smaller shipment of 300 rifles was delivered to the presidential guard in Ramallah.
Hamas denounced the shipments as blatant attempts to interfere in internal Palestinian issues.
