Dual-use goods into Gaza
Cement, pipes, electronics: goods with civilian and military uses. Israel inspects because Hamas built tunnels from items on that same list.
Dual-use means a bag of cement can become a house or a tunnel. A pipe can carry water or become a rocket body. Israel says it inspects because Hamas has turned these goods into weapons for years.
Israel describes slow inspection as a security measure, not a famine policy. It is the last checkpoint in a war against a terrorist organization that takes aid and builds under hospitals. Who made the inspection necessary?
The film’s soldiers describe the other end: a tunnel that used to be a truck. COGAT’s desk is the paperwork; the rooftop is the night.
