1. I thought they were so desperately poor (don't know where those Saudi billions went) that they couldn't afford things like mortar and light arms.
2. Doesn't this mean the deal is off?
From Haaretz, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Palestinian gunmen targeted Israeli settlements and Israel Defense Forces positions Saturday in a number of locations in the southern Gaza Strip.On Saturday morning, gunmen twice opened fire on IDF troops near the boundary fence adjacent to the Slav settlement in southern Gaza. The soldiers returned fire.
Before dawn, a Palestinian mortar crew fired a shell at a southern Gaza settlement and gunmen opened fire on an IDF position near Kfar Darom.
Somebody, some where has $$$$. For example ...
"The profits are huge. A Kalashnikov sells for $200 on the Egyptian side, but fetches $2,000 on the Gaza black market. A good night's delivery is 1,200 Kalashnikovs — a profit of more than $2m. Bullets — 50 cents in Egypt, $8 wholesale in Gaza — are even more profitable. A standard one-night delivery returns a profit of $750,000. The tunnels are financed by wealthy families — locals call them the "snakeheads" — who run the tunnels as businesses. They rent the passage to anyone who pays $10,000 for one night's use — a gun dealer, Hamas or Islamic Jihad, the militant Islamic fundamentalist groups, or a man who can't get his wife legally into Gaza. Cash is the currency, not politics, patriotism or sentimentality."

All the more reason to despise these mindless murderbots! They constantly play the victim then engage in pointless attacks like that.
Does anyone even believe that you can TRUST anything a MUSLIM says or any contract any muslim signs..
I am sorry if this is a blanket statement but it is the truth..
Its about time we wake up and realize the true nature of this horrible monstor called Islam..
From "Islam and Dhimmitude" by Bat Ye'or:
"Here it is important to emphasize that the principal concerning the relinquishment of land in exchange for peace and security is in accordance with the injunctions of jihad. Except for the Arabian peninsula, all the Arab countries consist of land yielded by Christians and others to Arab armies in exchange for the peace and security of dhimmitude"
