| Egyptian security: 20 tunnel-bound cars seized |
| 2010-07-24 |
| [Ma'an] Egyptian authorities seized 20 cars which were to be smuggled into Gaza, security sources said. The cars, without plates, were found in a warehouse in Ad-Duhneyeh near the Rafah crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border. The sources added that the cars were stolen from citizens in the Egyptian city Al-Arish. Egypt, under pressure from the US and Israel, began constructing an underground steel wall to block the tunnels last year. An Egyptian official, speaking anonymously to the Associated Press, said of the wall, "It's a big failure," noting that there are hundreds of holes in the barrier, "equal to the number of active tunnels." |

| #1 So Egypt builds a security barrier that they knew would be easy to breach. Appeasing the US and Israel with an appearance of co-operating with security concers, yet choosing a material that could be easily breached with a little effort to appease the arab nations and Gaza. Flood the tunnels. |
