Egypt's Sinai Campaign Continues Through Third Day

Egypt's campaign into the Sinai continued through it's third day, on Monday.

Helicopters, tanks, and armored vehicles have led the way as the military works to clear out Islamist militants.

On Monday, they focused on closing tunnels leading to Gaza, through which Hamas moves.

During the offensive, two soldiers and nineteen militants have been killed.

Well over a hundred buildings have been destroyed as gunships blow apart anywhere that the militants choose to hide.

Hundreds of weapons have been confiscated, mostly at three caches, that were found in two houses and a mosque.

Anti aircraft missiles, bombs, mortar launchers, rocket propelled grenades, and suicide bomb belts were all amongst the munitions seized.
