| Subject: Statist filth: Egyptian military begins closing smuggling tunnels near Gaza Tue Sep 06, 2011 5:15 am | |
| The Egyptian government has begun sealing a series of smugglers’ tunnels between its border and the Gaza Strip, witnesses and security officials said Sunday, in an apparent attempt to increase security after a violent cross-border incident with Israel set off the worst diplomatic conflict between the countries since the Camp David Accords.
The area around the town of Rafah is rife with smuggling, as hundreds of tunnels ferry construction materials, consumer goods and weapons into Gaza to bypass the Israeli blockade.
