Egyptian army kills three Palestinian gunmen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Egyptian military Wednesday shot dead three Palestinian gunmen who infiltrated through a smuggling tunnel in the Sinai town of Rafah on the border with Gaza, security officials say.
They said the “armed Palestinians” and the military clashed in a buffer zone established along the border.
The gunmen had infiltrated through one of the smuggling tunnels used to transport fuel and food supplies to the Gaza Strip.
Cairo accuses Hamas, which controls Gaza, of using the tunnels to infiltrate Egypt and aid jihadists who launch regular attacks on security forces in the Sinai Peninsula.
