For their part, Palestinian security forces in large numbers have been deployed along the borders.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian security forces have closed the tunnels between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, used for transferring essential goods and fuel to the besieged Strip.

Informed sources confirmed that the Egyptian army launched a campaign to demolish the tunnels built under the Egyptian-Palestinian borders.

The sources said that Egyptian tanks and armored vehicles have been intensively deployed on the borders, amid a campaign that included the destruction of many tunnels that have been closed for several days due to the recent developments in Egypt.
