Israeli security officials said Sunday that 91,000 new tents have been delivered to Gaza as part of coordinated winter preparations, rejecting Hamas accusations against Israel. The effort, coordinated by COGAT, also included tarpaulins and 9,000 truckloads of clothing and blankets. Officials said reconstruction equipment and caravans will not enter while Hamas remains armed. "Hamas is already exploiting the aid entering the Gaza Strip to rehabilitate its military wing," one security official said, accusing the terrorists of diverting assistance to rebuild their capabilities.
