Egyptians find huge tunnel into Gaza

An alarming headline: Egyptian officials find 'tunnel into Gaza'

 

And more alarming text:

 

Bethlehem - Ma'an - Sources in the Egyptian security services said Friday
they had discovered a tunnel from Egypt into the Gaza Strip they suspect was
used to smuggle weapons.

The source told Reuter's Egyptian security officials found the tunnel by
accident near international marker No. 5 south of the Rafah border crossing.

The source said that the 1300 meter tunnel was equipped for smuggling
operation and that it appeared to have been used several times.

A 1.3 KM tunnel is not to be scoffed at. And the fact that it was discovered by accident, and had been used, suggests that there is no means of systematic searching for tunnels, and perhaps not much enthusiasm, and that very probably there are more of the same.
