From Hamas slams Egypt over tunnel flooding
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas accuses Egypt of further besieging the Gaza Strip by flooding the border area to the south of the Palestinian enclave.
“Why are they digging those trenches and those water pipes around Rafah?” Hamas’s chief in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, says during a speech to commemorate the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday.
“And why discard neighborly relations and the history of Gaza, which has always defended the regional security of Egypt and Arab countries? We are telling our Egyptian brothers: Stop this project. We will do our duty against those who besiege Gaza and plot against it.”
