Israeli forces make life difficult for Hamas bomb makers: According to an Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson: During military operations in Jenin on November 5, the IDF uncovered a warehouse filled with hundreds of kilograms of fertilizer, a banned chemical substance used for making explosives [like the bomb in Oklahoma City]. In an interview in the Jordanian A-Sabil (Oct. 14, 2002), a member of Hamas' military wing admitted that Israeli restrictions on the import of raw materials used in explosives have hurt Hamas' ability to manufacture bombs, forcing the group to search for new routes to obtain such materials.
