Satellite imagery shows Egypt building buffer zone near Gaza: Washington Post

The Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing satellite imagery, that Egypt is clearing land next to Gaza.

The newspaper also received videos, taken by the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights, showing trucks and bulldozers "clearing debris from a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the border with Gaza, measuring about eight square miles".

Earlier this week, the foundation reported that Egypt was building a security zone near Gaza that could be used to take in Palestinians ahead of a planned Israeli military invasion of the southern city of Rafah.
