(ANSAMed) - CAIRO, AUGUST 7 - Egypt is sending bulldozers and earth movers to Rafah to destroy the 600 tunnels being used for smuggling contraband to and from Gaza, local sources said on Tuesday. The previous regime had begun to destroy the tunnels and to build a wall between between Egypt and Gaza. Just 4 kilometers of the wall were built when the project was shut down, three months before the 2011 revolution that ousted Mubarak.
