[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Egyptian army discovers Gaza tunnels in Rafah mosque

From Daily News Egypt:

The [Egyptian] armed forces say they have discovered and destroyed the openings of six tunnels found in a mosque in the Gaza border town of Rafah.

The tunnels, discovered on Saturday, are thought to have been used by “extremist elements” for “smuggling and infiltration to and from the Gaza Strip in order to intensify their activity in northern Sinai,” said an armed forces statement on Sunday.

Egypt’s armed forces have been targeting the network of tunnels that are known smuggling routes into the Gaza strip, with some large enough to transport vehicles under the border.

The tunnel openings were found behind Al-Nasr Mosque’s washroom, behind the pulpit, one in the southern corner and three “from the bottom of the mosque”, according to the armed forces.

The armed forces destroyed the tunnels using machinery and flooding them with water.

You mean, Egypt is attacking a mosque that was used to smuggle weapons for terrorists?

I'm sure we will be seeing huge headlines about this in the mainstream media any minute now.
