GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The repercussions of the botched Israeli intelligence operation in the east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza on Nov. 13, 2018, continue to surface. Hamas-affiliated security forces in the Gaza Strip seized Feb. 16 electronic tracking chips hidden in military boots entering Gaza through the Kerem Abu Salem trade crossing.

Palestinian security forces in Gaza believe Israel was behind the attempt to smuggle electronic tracking chips into the Gaza Strip, based on the confessions of a suspect involved in providing logistics support to Israel.
