Egyptian military destroys 1,020 houses in Rafah
‘The Egyptian military has razed to the ground at least 1,020 homes in Rafah, near the border with southern Gaza Strip, to create a buffer zone with the blockaded Palestinian territory.
According to Egyptian security officials on Tuesday, 200 more homes would be destroyed in the area to extend the buffer zone as many as 500 meters from the border.
This is the second phase of a demolition plan announced by Cairo following an attack by unknown gunmen on a checkpoint in the Sinai Peninsula that killed dozens of soldiers last October.’
