Egyptian security forces discovered on Monday 10 tunnels used to smuggle goods to Gaza Strip, according to a security source.
The source told Xinhua that a detained Palestinian smuggler, Mohammed al-Shaer, by Egyptian security forces guided to the tunnels.
Al-Shaer, one of the most dangerous smugglers through the tunnels, was arrested four days ago during his return from Saudi Arabia to Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing, according to the security source.
The tunnels are used to bring in a wide array of products that are no longer allowed through official crossing points due to an Israeli blockade that has been in place for more than two years.
