According to the Israeli Defense Forces ( IDF) functioning in Rafah, Hamas could use a secret bridge between Egypt and Gaza to buy anything without the aid of international law, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Lt. Col. Amit Yagor ( Res. ), a past intelligence official, wrote:
]Egypt] enables an entire sector of smuggling tunnels from its place to the place of the Gaza Strip and, in discipline, constitutes the group’s “oxygen tube” and a major source of unlawful weapons, ammunition, and prohibited substances that enabled the establishment of” Deep Gaza”.
The Salah al-Din cross, which was used for the movement of goods from Egypt to the Gaza Strip without any Zionist or international control, was the highlight of the project. In addition to the well-known Rafah passing, it was not commonly known and operated.
Evidently, the economy of the tunnels/goods/crossings and the market that developed on Iranian land contributed a lot to the quiet that Egypt requested the preservation of in the Sinai Peninsula, and hence the Egyptian desire to maintain it, as Egypt knew how to do in several different scenarios.
Egypt had opposed an Israeli activity in Rafah, as had the Biden administration. Now it is obvious that Egypt wanted to cover up its part in Hamas’s arms importing and smuggling. The Biden presidency may have also wished to maintain the image of Egypt as a United States alliance.
Israel has seized power of nearly the entire Philadelphi Corridor, as the route along the Egypt-Gaza border is known, since attacking Rafah in early May. In so doing, it has killed jihadists and destroyed caves and rocket missiles.
