The Egyptian military destroyed 37 cross-border tunnels linking the Gaza Strip to the  Sinai Peninsula over the past year, the country’s military has announced.

 

Egypt has in the past flooded Hamas tunnels along the Gaza Strip with sea-water or sewage, and has destroyed hundreds of homes on the Egyptian side of Rafah to remove the tunnels.

 

The Egyptian military began cracking down on tunnels stretching from the Hamas-run coastal enclave into the restive peninsula following the country’s September 2013 coup, which saw Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi ousted and imprisoned.

 

The Muslim Brotherhood was designated as a terrorist organization by Cairo following Morsi’s ouster.
