TEL AVIV ?- Israeli military sources said hundreds of weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank rockets and bomb components, have been smuggled over the last three days from the Sinai Peninsula to the Gaza Strip.
The sources said Palestinian insurgents brought the equipment from Egypt in wake of the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
So far, more than 10,000 Palestinians have crossed the Gaza border and made their way to towns in eastern and northern Sinai. The sources said they included hundreds of operatives from Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, some of whom directed the flow of Palestinians into Sinai.

JERUSALEM - Israel is worried al-Qaida agents may be using the current security collapse along the Egypt-Gaza border to infiltrate the Gaza Strip from bases inside the Sinai and make their way into the Jewish state to carry out attacks, officials said today.
"We're talking about Iran, we're talking elements in Syria, we're talking about groups like Hezbollah and we're talking also about international terrorist groups like al-Qaida," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev, referring to the possibility of terrorists crossing through the now wide open border.
