Rumor: Military Aid to PA

This is just a rumor that I heard, but I was wondering if anyone could substantiate it:

Russia is giving military aid to the PA to buy tanks.

Now, given the fact that Israel controls all of the borders and I have a hard time imagining that they would allow this as it might impact their own security, I'm guessing that this is not true...but the rumor also speculates that this is going to be done to quash dissent if the upcoming negotiations lead to concessions that the people don't accept. Basically, the PA has to shut down dissent or Israel will do it. Given the disconnect between the PA and the people demonstrating against the Annapolis photo-op, this is a little bit scary.

Anyone know anything?
