The long-awaited dream: Egyptian army begins flooding Gaza tunnels
 [IsraelTimes] al-Sissi...former general under Mubarak, then Defense Minister. Egypt overthrew Mubarak and endured a year of ham-fisted Moslem Brüderbund rule so al-Sissi could run for President-for-Life... moves ahead with plan designed to thwart Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, weapons smuggling, terrorism The Egyptian military on Friday morning began pumping sea water into the underground cross-border tunnels dug between its Sinai Peninsula and the Gazoo Strip in what appears to be a renewed campaign to stamp out terror activity along the border. Paleostinian security officials told the German news agency DPA the operation was part of an effort to stop cross-border smuggling by Islamist Lions of Islam to and from the blockaded Paleostinian enclave. According to the report, large pipes extending from the Mediterranean Sea flooded the Sinai-Gazoo border area with sea water, enabling Egyptian officials to destroy the tunnels without having to know their exact locations. Officials announced last month that the area would be flooded and would eventually be converted into 18 fish farms along the 14-kilometer border with Gazoo, making the digging of new underground tunnels impossible.
