Egyptian border police shot dead a Palestinian and detained two others after they exited the opening of a smuggling tunnel in the border town of Rafah on Saturday morning, Egyptian military sources said.
Border guard officers reportedly spotted three men walking out of a tunnel opening in area of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier area on the Egyptian side of Rafah, a town that straddles the border.
The sources said that officers shouted at the men to stop, but the men instead attempted to return into the tunnel.
As a result, officers opened fire, killing one. The other two men then stopped and were taken into custody. more
