3 Questions on Hamas Prescription Grenades
 Hamas made grenades from medicine bottles arriving in humanitarian aid shipments. The Jerusalem Post explains:
The medicine bottles were manufactured by the Jerusalem Pharmaceutical Company, which is based in el-Bireh, a town adjacent to Ramallah, and the global pharmaceutical company Shire.
The medicine bottles were filled with explosives, holes were drilled in the caps, and fuses were installed. Once Hamas fighters lit the fuses, they had several seconds to throw the grenades at soldiers. The IDF also found small explosive devices that used medical syringes to hold their fuses.
This raises quite a few questions. Here are just three:
- Does this belie claims of a medical crisis in Gaza?
- British police arrested three men linked to George Galloway's aid convoy for Gaza. Will foreign aid efforts be tied in to such activity?
- When will the Palestinians stop uprooting traffic lights and sewage pipes to produce rockets, and instead begin the work of nation-building?

1: Not necessarily. Presumably the medicines are used, resulting in empty bottles, which are recycled in to the cycle of violence, thereby emptying future medicine bottles to keep the cycle going.
