Egyptian security forces seized drugs, bombs, and weapons when they uncovered two tunnels linking the Egyptian border town of Rafah with the Palestinian city of the same name, pan-Arab daily al-Quds al-Arabi reported.
One of the tunnels measured almost one kilometre long, and three Palestinians were found and arrested inside one of the passages, al-Quds al-Arabi said.
The munitions found were allegedly destined to be used in attacks inside the Sinai peninsula. In the past weeks, Israeli authorities have complained to Egypt about not doing enough to stop the trafficking of weapons to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
According to Egyptian authorities, since the Islamist Hamas movement took over the Gaza Strip in June 2007, trafficking has decreased considerably.
