Egyptian security forces have uncovered hundreds of weapons and explosive devices hidden along the Sinai Peninsula's border with Israel, the Arabic-language Al-Quds al-Arabiyeh reported on Friday.

According to the report, forces found 266 rockets, 40 mines, 50 mortar shells, 20 hand grenades and at least three anti-aircraft.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese newspaper Al-Mustakbal reported that earlier this year Egyptian forces arrested four members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard suspected of organizing an espionage ring on Egyptian territory.

Egyptian security forces last months discovered five smuggling tunnels along the country's border with the Gaza Strip, through which the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group was allegedly planning to deliver explosives.

Also on Friday, Egyptian police shot and killed an African migrant near the border with Israel.
The man, who was shot four times in the chest and abdomen, was not carrying any documents proving his identity or nationality, Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reporters.
