It appears that Palestinian security forces are beginning a
"crackdown" on terrorist groups in Gaza. Really, they even have some
photographs that *prove* it. So I wonder why the Egyptians, those oh
so loveable "moderate" Arabs, permit the tunnels to operate from their
end? I wonder how many Jews have been killed as a result of the
connivance of the Egyptians with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others. Any
estimates?

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinian security forces began a series of
raids in the Gaza Strip (news - web sites), seizing weapons and
arresting suspects, a Palestinian security official said.
Security forces also closed three tunnels used to smuggle weapons and
drugs across from Egypt, the official said on condition of anonymity.
The crackdown began Saturday afternoon and came on the orders of the
Palestinian leadership, the official said.
