Egypt discovers 10 smuggling tunnels on Gaza border
 [Ma'an] Egyptian forces discovered 10 smuggling tunnels on Sunday along the Gaza-Egypt border in the Salah Ad-Din neighborhood of Egyptian Rafah. Security sources told Ma'an that state detectives stormed eight homes along the border area, finding tunnel exits inside their homes. Large quantities of iron construction bars, water pumps, and spare car parts were confiscated in the various tunnels, which are slated for closure, police said. Egyptian authorities will not detonate the tunnels, as protocol usually dictates, but will seal the entrances will boulders because of the damage an explosion would cause to the residential structures. Separately, Egyptian security intercepted four female African migrants attempting to enter Israel along the Egyptian borders. Posted by: Fred 2010-04-19 |
