A total of 119 people were killed when unidentified aircraft attacked a convoy of vehicles near the Egyptian border in January, state media reported on Monday. American officials said in March that Israeli warplanes had bombed the convoy, which was believed to be carrying arms to be smuggled into Gaza. Defense Minister Abdel Rahim Muhammad Hussein said in a report to Parliament that the convoy was made up of 1,000 civilians involved in “a smuggling process at the border with Egypt,” the state Suna news agency said.
