Israeli war jets struck early on Wednesday the borderline area between southern Gaza Strip and Egypt, and destroyed at least two smuggling tunnels, witnesses and security sources said.
The witnesses said that after F16 warplanes hovered over the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah near the border with Egypt, they heard two huge explosions at the borderline area, adding that two tunnels were targeted and destroyed.
