A high-ranking Egyptian source told Cairo News Channel that the Israeli claims of "tunnel openings" in Egypt are completely false.
The Egyptian source stated that Egypt has exercised utmost restraint since the beginning of the Gaza Strip aggression, hoping to reach a truce and prevent a new cycle of war.
The source emphasized Egypt's firm rejection of Israeli efforts to displace Gaza residents into Egyptian territory, aiming to undermine the Palestinian cause. The source also affirmed that the Egyptian stance on the Palestinian issue is steadfast and unequivocal.

Last Sunday, the Israeli occupation forces claimed to have found dozens of tunnel paths in the "Philadelphi Corridor" near the Egyptian border.
The Israeli army regards controlling the Philadelphi Corridor as a key objective in its military operation in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, due to accusations that Hamas uses it for military purposes.
The Salah al-Din axis, also known as the Philadelphi Axis, stretches from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Karem Abu Salem crossing in the south, running along the Egyptian border. It is approximately 14 kilometers long and 100 meters wide.
