Egypt Forces Find 225 Gaza Tunnels under Border
(Ma'an News-PA) Egyptian forces have discovered over 225 smuggling tunnels under the border with Gaza, military spokesperson Col. Ahmed Mohamed Ali said Sunday. "Each tunnel has several exits, including inside Egyptian houses." Earlier this week, reporters saw one tunnel being used to bring in cement and gravel suddenly fill with water, deliberately pumped in by the Egyptians. One tunnel owner said that 150-200 tunnels had been closed by Egypt since an attack in Sinai last August which left 16 Egyptian soldiers dead.
