Report: Egypt Seizes Gaza-Bound Weapons
(Maan News-PA) Egyptian police captured nine weapons caches across the Sinai Peninsula on Tuesday, after discovering three stores a week earlier. All of the weapons were ready to be smuggled into Gaza. Egyptian forces said they found machine guns, ammunition, over 170 anti-aircraft shells, 90 artillery shells, and anti-tank landmines. Additionally, 100 kilograms of TNT explosives were seized. Egypt has launched an apparent crackdown on smuggling tunnels and weapons stores following reports that smugglers had cut several holes in a subterranean steel wall built to curb the transfer of weapons into Gaza.
