Egyptian police on Friday discovered three new tunnels on the border with Gaza, two at Sahah El-Din, and a big tunnel for smuggling fuel, diesel and gasoline in the Brahmins area.
Police raided the tunnels and seized some goods and food items, but nobody was arrested.
Currently, both police and army forces are controlling the border with Gaza and have appointed high security forces at the tunnel openings.
The issue of tunnels on the border with Gaza created a lot of debate both during and after the Mubarak era. The majority of Egyptians were expecting better relations and more support for the Palestinians after the January 25 revolution.
