Egyptian forces have discovered a tunnel filled with arms on the Gaza border, a security official told AFP on Wednesday. "Three rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 38 machine guns and 2,800 RPGs were found Tuesday in a tunnel four kilometers (2.5 miles) south of the Rafah crossing terminal," the official was quoted as saying.
He said the cache had been discovered by newly deployed Egyptian border guards.
This development came after Egypt's ambassador to Israel vowed that his country would maintain law and order on its border with the Gaza Strip. "Law and order will be maintained. Only you can go from one country to another through the appropriate regulations," Mohammed Asim Ibrahim told public radio on Wednesday.
