The Palestinian Maan news agency quoted Egyptian security forces as saying that Egyptian border guard forces thwarted an attack to bomb an army watch tower in the El-Barazil neighborhood, adjacent to the international border line in Rafah.
The report stated that Egyptian forces uncovered a tunnel near the watch tower where terrorists placed three devices containing 150 kg of explosives. They had been wired to electrical circuits to be detonated from afar. (Roi Kais)
