In an investigative report titled “Kassam’s Shovels Continue to Dig Tunnels after the War,” the site said that members of Izzadin Kassam were continuing to work in the tunnels like “beehives.”
According to the al-Resalah site, the Hamas members “see every inch they dig as a place where an Israeli soldier would be kidnapped or killed.”
Al-Resalah’s reporter Mahmoud Foda said he visited one of the tunnels in an undisclosed location in the Gaza Strip.
Foda described how Kassam militiamen gather in the morning at the entrance to the tunnel at the beginning of another work day.
The commander of the militiamen, Abu Khaled, was quoted as saying, “We need every minute. We have a lot of work ahead of us that requires tremendous efforts and patience.”
Work inside the tunnel never ceased, he said, adding that his men began digging the tunnel a few years ago.
“Thank God for making us soldiers specializing in digging tunnels. True, this is hard work, but we keep in mind that we will be rewarded by God,” another Hamas militiaman said.
The report said that the Israel Air Force targeted the tunnel during the last military confrontation after spotting Hamas fighters emerging from its opening, and that it was renovated during one of the truces between Hamas and Israel.

And did anyone think they would give up so easily? Remember the call of Arafat for “a million martyrs to march on Jerusalem”? Until our zeal to protect our people and our land at least matches their zeal to destroy both, we will be imbalanced and at risk – from ourselves! The mighty Russian army collapsed before the Taliban and the superior American army was crippled by barefoot tunnel dwellers in black pajamas in Viet Nam. It the war of spirit vs might, spirit often wins.
Nice of them to tell the IDF this time. They were fairly clueless the last time around.
Yeah – we allowed a huge delivery into Gaza of cement and other “necessities” – I believe them when they say they are rebuilding the tunnels. Why would we allow cement in???? Anybody????
Hamas were defeated this is just the after effects
