30 arrested in Rafah on suspicion of smuggling fuel to Gaza
From the Daily News Egypt…
Around 30 members of the same family were arrested from a neighborhood in the border town of Rafah on suspicion of smuggling solaar gas into Gaza.
According to sources in the area, 30 members of the Barahma family — part of the Barghoum tribe — were taken after security forces completely surrounded the neighborhood of Canada in Rafah all day Wednesday.
Additionally, the sources indicated that three women were also taken as some sort of “collateral” until their husbands turn themselves in. They also said that one member of that particular family had assaulted a border guard and the security mission was a retaliatory gesture.
