CAIRO (Ma’an) — Egyptian army border guards recently discovered and destroyed 12 “new” tunnels running under the Gaza-Egypt border in the northern Sinai Peninsula, Egyptian security sources told Ma’an.
Egyptian security sources said that the army’s border guards destroyed the tunnels in cooperation with military engineering forces.
Last month, Egyptian authorities announced plans to fill a kilometer-long trench along the Gazan border with seawater to be used for fish farming,aimed at preventing the construction of smuggling tunnels between the border.
The trench, which is currently a kilometer long and20-meters deep, will be expanded along the border, security sources had said.
