An Arabic-language newspaper (al-Quds al-Arabi) is reporting that American Engineering Corps' officers are, at Israel's request, assisting to unearth smugglers' tunnels in the area of the Egypt-Gaza border.
I hasten to add that it appears that this report has not been confirmed by any other news source.
