The IDF released on Sunday an inventory of weapons recovered from the attempted Iranian shipment to Gaza last week.
After detailed analysis carried out by the Engineering Corps, the IDF found 40 M-302 rockets, with a range of between 90 to 160 kilometers, hidden in crates.
The Klos C ship also carried 180 millimeter mortar rounds, and some 400,000 7.62 millimeter caliber bullets.
“These are advanced weapons that were destined to threaten the security of millions of Israeli civilians. The IDF will continue in its mission to prevent arms smuggling across the Middle East to various terror organizations, under Iranian cover and funding,” the military said in a statement.
Before being intercepted, the ship’s was heading for Port Sudan, where the Iranian Quds Force had planned to pick up the rockets and move them on land via Egypt, and from there, into Gaza through smuggling tunnels, the IDF suspects.
According to Military Intelligence, Iran originally flew the rockets from Syria to an Iranian air field a number of months ago, before trucking them the Iranian port of Bander Abbas, where they were loaded on to Klos C.
