The IDF says it located nine tunnels that cross the Philadelphi corridor from Gaza to Egypt, all of which were sealed on the Egyptian side before the war began.
Netanyahu has insisted that the IDF must stay at Philadelphi to prevent arms smuggling
The IDF's understanding is that most of the activity in these tunnels took place during the Morsi presidency between 2012-2013, and that under Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, the tunnels were sealed
The IDF says that there is a low chance that these tunnels will be used for smuggling, and believes that most of the weapons in Gaza were produced inside the Strip, using materials smuggled through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings
Noga Tarnopolsky:
As Ex Shin Bet Director Nadav Argaman Said, "Nine tunnels were found crossing the philadelphi corridor– all of them blocked on the egyptian side. not a single tunnel was found crossing the border that was open for smuggling. they were all blocked long ago.," Reports @ alonbd

According to the senior security official, the clarifications included major new conditions meant to sabotage any chance of an agreement.
The conditions included the demand that Israeli troops be allowed to continue occupying the Philadelphi Corridor, the strategic strip of land along the Gaza-Egypt border.
