after the three ignored Egyptian border guards' orders to stop and tried to return into the tunnel instead.
A Paleostinian man trying to infiltrate Sinai through a smuggling tunnel was rubbed out and two others arrested by the Egyptian army on Saturday, Paleostinian media reported.
The three were spotted exiting a tunnel near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the Egyptian side of Rafah.
The Egyptian border guards ordered them to stop, but instead the three Paleostinians tried to return into the tunnel. The border guards opened fire, killing one of the Paleostinians and arresting the other two.
Paleostinian news agency Ma'an quoted sources saying the Egyptian army has announced a state of alert on the border with the Gazoo Strip following intelligence on a potential infiltration of gunnies from Gazoo to Sinai.
Following the ouster of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, ally Mohammed Morsi and his Moslem Brüderbund, the Egyptian army has launched an extensive operation cracking down on jihadists in the Sinai Peninsula.
The Egyptian army said is has destroyed over 2,000 smuggling tunnels connecting the Gazoo Strip to Sinai. This crackdown makes it harder on Hamas to smuggle goods, arms and construction materials into the Strip, and harder on Paleostinian jihadists to infiltrate Sinai and attack Egyptian army posts.

The attacks came a day after an al-Qaeda-inspired militant group in Egypt beheaded a man in the restive Sinai Peninsula for allegedly conspiring with Israel.
Militants from the Ansar Beit al-Maqdis group dumped the beheaded body on the road in the town of Sheikh Zuweyid, and continue to hold several other men for the same reason, according to the officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, whose name means Champions of Jerusalem in Arabic, posted an online video in August showing the beheading of four men in Sinai. The men in the video said they helped Israel target the group's members with drone strikes in exchange for money.
The group claimed most of the major militant attacks that have hit Egypt since the 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
