Hamas police accused Egyptian security forces of killing four smugglers from the Gaza Strip and wounding three others on Wednesday by blowing up their cross-border tunnel. Setting off a bomb underground, Egyptian security forces collapsed a tunnel in which seven smugglers were working on Wednesday, a Palestinian police official said, according to Reuters. Three died of smoke inhalation and a fourth from flying debris.

 

The other three tunnellers were admitted with injuries to a hospital in Rafah.
