The price of bullets in Gaza

Charles at Little Green Footballs links to a short news item in JTA: bq. Deep trouble for weapons smugglers Gaza Strip arms prices reportedly have spiked since Israel began cracking down on weapons-smuggling tunnels. bq. Ha�aretz reported Tuesday that a contraband AK-47 bullet, which cost just more than $1 before the start of the intifada in September 2000 now goes for five times as much in Gaza. Israeli authorities monitor such inflation as a gauge of the army�s success in uncovering tunnels in Rafah, which lies on Gaza�s southern border with Egypt. Awwwww... Maybe we should take up a collection...
