CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian security official at the Egypt-Gaza border says U.S. Army engineers have arrived at the frontier to set up ground-penetrating radar to detect smuggling tunnels.
The officials say the new equipment would help stop the smuggling in the area, which has been the main entrance for weapons and explosives used by the Palestinian militant group Hamas against Israel.
Inside the Rafah terminal on Sunday, four army trucks loaded with wooden crates and drills could be seen accompanied by four U.S. Army engineers.
The Egyptian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity the subject.
Israel has repeatedly called on Egypt to do more to end the smuggling.

Because Egypt has a vested interest in the defeat of Hamas and the containment of Iran and Dyria.

Once the Americans can ensure that no tunnels exist the Israelis can finally starve the Palestinians to death and move themselves into Gaza for good, then next stop will be Sinai, then the rest of Egypt to the NILE, then work their way backwards to the Euphrates.
