Libyan weapons for Gaza

Palestinians in Gaza have acquired anti-aircraft and anti-tank rockets from Libya, by way of an overland supply route that opened up between eastern Libya — after it fell to the rebels — and the Gaza Strip via Egypt, Israeli radio said citing military officials on Monday.

Meanwhile, Egyptian military said it had intercepted a large number of anti-aircraft missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons on the Libyan border.

While the crisis in Libya has stirred Western concern about the fate of that country’s aging chemical weapons stockpiles, Israel has no indication so far that Hamas or other Palestinian factions have sought these, the officials said.
