Egyptian security destroys two Gaza tunnels
[Ma'an] Explosion, believed to be Egyptian security forces imploding smuggling tunnels, were heard along the Rafah border on Friday evening.The blasts were heard by residents of the Egyptian side of the As-Salam neighborhood of the city of Rafah, which straddles the sensitive border with the Gaza Strip. Ma'an learned that Egyptian security forces detonated explosives in two such tunnels. One week ago Egyptian forces destroyed several tunnels in the Yibna area of the border region. Egypt says it is cracking down on the vast network of tunnels in Rafah, which smugglers use to import goods made scarce by an Israeli-led blockade of Gaza. Posted by: Fred 2010-02-20 |
