RAFAH, Egypt — Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in the Gaza Strip is rattling Egyptians on the Egyptian side of the Gaza border. Eyewitnesses on the Egyptian side said houses along the border that is adjacent to the Gaza Strip have been directly affected by the intense Israeli bombardment.
According to the residents of the Egyptian part of Rafah, Israeli fighter jets have continuously hit the tunnels on the Gaza side of the border. They have been targeting tunnel entrances with highly explosive concussion bombs to destroy the main outlets of the tunnel on the Palestinian side, and cause earthquakes to demolish parts of the underground tunnel between the Egyptian and Palestinian sides of the border.
