Yes, they will use the Gazans and the Bedouins of the Sinai to smuggle in weapons. From a strategic viewpoint, there are 2 things about Israel that are not widely understood. 1. The Golan Heights. Most everyone thinks the value of Israel having the Golan Heights is to keep them from being used to rain down mortars and rockets on Israelis. While that may be true, the real value is that Israel gets 15-30% of their fresh H2O from the Golan Heights area. With a chronic water problem, Israel is never going to give that up. 2. Israel has the 2nd strongest Air Force in the world and the Arabs know it and fear it.
