Egyptian forces on Saturday reportedly seized two vehicles in the Sinai peninsula with fuel destined for the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Ma’an news agency said that the Egyptian security forces shot out the tires of the vehicles to halt them and that they contained over 500 gallons of gasoline for Gaza’s black market. Egyptian efforts to halt fuel smuggling has created a sharp shortage and caused widespread blackouts in the Hamas-controlled coastal strip.
