I've Been Thinking:

Egypt just reported that a truck containing 1 ton of explosive and bomb making material was discovered on their border with Gaza.

The driver and a passenger in the truck fled when they saw the army.
The police confiscated the explosives.

It all took place near Rafah on the Egyptian side of the border. Rafah is a split city - part in Gaza and part in Egypt. An active and very lucrative smuggling business moves things from one side of Rafah to the other.

No commodities are more in demand and more fungible than explosives and weapons.
Capturing this explosive material was a huge victory for the good guys.
Kudos to Egypt, they are doing a splendid job.
