Egyptian security sources have claimed that the North Sinai Security Directorate has deported 15 Palestinians to the Gaza Strip after they were caught entering Egyptian territories through the Egypt-Gaza tunnels illegally. The sources confirmed that the individuals were detained and sent back to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing. Meanwhile, the security directorate has mounted a fierce campaign against outlaws and arrested 33 people who had been convicted, but managed to evade punishment. In total, the 33 individuals had committed 164 traffic offences, including illegal reversing and driving without a license. One person, detained in the city of Arish was caught with a counterfeit driving license.
