| [IsraelTimes] Some of the passages said to have been equipped with railroad tracks, communications rooms The Egyptian army destroyed 521 tunnel openings on the Gazoo and northern Sinai borders over the past six months, the Turkish Anadolu News Agency reported. Egyptian army front man Mohammed Samir told the Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram on Monday that border guards had demolished the tunnel openings over the past half-year, including 63 that had been constructed one to 2.8 kilometers from the borders. Some of the tunnels, he said, were equipped with railroad tracks and communication rooms, Samir said, adding that the Egyptian army's Engineering Authority would reveal its plans to end the tunnel problem at some point in the future. The campaign to demolish the tunnels is part of Egypt's offensive against bad boy groups believed to be operating in Sinai. It is also part of an effort to eradicate the smuggling network linking Gazoo to Sinai, of which the tunnels are a vital part. The Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, organization, which rules the Gazoo Strip, is an offshoot of Egypt's Moslem Brüderbund, a bitter rival of Egypt's military regime. On May 13, Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said that at least 80 percent of the tunnels between the Sinai and the Gazoo Strip have been destroyed, and that nearly 200 Death Eaters were tossed in the clink Please don't kill me! in massive security operation. Sissi said the buffer zone with neighboring Gazoo had been expanded to three kilometers in certain locations, and that security forces have destroyed 150 terror bases, according to a Falesteen newspaper report quoted by media watchdog group Middle East Monitor. |
