Gaza, Alray - Egyptian army destroyed Monday morning a number of tunnels on the ‎Palestinian-Egyptian border to the south of the Gaza Strip to mark the toughest campaign ‎carried out by the military for months.

‎Eyewitnesses in Rafah said “Egyptian excavators east of Rafah city destroyed five ‎underground tunnels, three of which are used to smuggle building materials and others ‎goods and food commodities,”‎

‎They said “after the tunnels were bombed, gush of water have been poured into them;” ‎explaining that “thunderous sounds of explosions were heard at intervals coming from the ‎border area, while smoke was seen rising from there,”

‎‎“The army destroyed a house and block walls to four farms nearby; heavy presence of ‎tanks backing the excavators and unusual active movements of the military vehicles were ‎seen along the border,” they said. 

Our reporter quoted the residents of the locality affirming that the Egyptian army mined ‎and destroyed at least one tunnel Monday evening in the vicinity of Unknown Soldier ‎square, while deploying security forces in said area and closing roads. He added that they ‎inspected vehicles passing by.‎
