Egypt destroys 31 tunnels as part of counter-terrorism campaign

The Egyptian army has told reporters that the ongoing campaign to eradicate terrorism in Sinai has led to the destruction of 31 smuggling tunnels that connected the peninsula with the Gaza Strip.

A military official told the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm on Thursday that the security forces' investigation has linked four Palestinians to last month's deadly terror attack on the Egyptian-Israeli border. Hamas denies involvement in the attack. (Roi Kais)
