Egypt destroys Gaza tunnel intended for attacks on Israel, Egypt
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt’s military says it destroyed a tunnel from Gaza meant to be used for attacks against Israeli civilians and Egyptian military installations.
Military sources are telling Egyptian and Palestinian media outlets that border guards have engaged fighters, possibly from Hamas, at the tunnel’s entrance in the Salah a-Din area of Rafah, forcing them to flee.
Inside the tunnel, Egyptian forces find 20 warheads and 20 platforms for launching Grad rockets. The materiel was smuggled to the Sinai Peninsula and was intended to be launched at Egyptian military installations and Israeli towns.
