The security guards at the Sha’ar Ephraim crossing between Gaza and Israel, along with security guards from the Tax Authority, prevented an attempt to smuggle three tons of tobacco into Gaza.
The tobacco originated in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority and was hidden in solar panels.
Tax Authority agents confiscated the contraband and have opened an investigation into those involved in the smuggling attempt.
