    Israeli drills search for fighting tunnels on the Israel and  Gaza border, seen in the background, Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2016. Hamas has built a sophisticated network of tunnels that it has used to penetrate Israel to carry out attacks on civilians and soldiers. Israel destroyed dozens of the tunnels in the war with the militant group in Gaza in 2014.

    Hamas blocked off the area around the tunnel and was making sure that radio stations were not reporting details of the incident.

    On Wednesday morning, Hamas officials confirmed the death of at least two of its operatives in a separate tunnel collapse.

    Eight others were reported missing after the underground passageway caved in, according to Hamas military wing, the Izzadin al-Kassam Brigades.

    The incident on Wednesday evening was the third time in recent weeks that an underground passageway collapsed.

    Last week, seven Hamas men were killed when a tunnel collapsed close to Gaza’s eastern border with Israel.

    Hamas said the collapse occurred as a result of heavy rain and it took two days to find the bodies and announce the deaths. Mosques across the Palestinian enclave mourned those killed, calling them “Martyrs of the Preparation,” a reference to their work digging tunnels used to attack Israel.

    Along with Hamas’ announcement on Wednesday morning, the group released a promotional video depicting the underground realm of its tunnel operations along with other apparent militant training.

    May all their tunnels implode in a similar way. Don’t you see the Divine fingerprints here?

    The residents in towns around Gaza, are complaining of hearing underground digging, with defense officials not alarmed, It’s probably the Israeli Army there, engineering the collapse of the Gaza tunnels,

    Now, why does the rosho Obama still deny that Hamas are the evil aggressors? Answer, because he supports and encourages them. He is the terrorist plant in the US government.

    Are they going to hang the tunnel engineers after accusing them of working for Israel? Now they have to dig out these bodies only to bury them again. They should just leave them in the tunnels.

    I have some harsh things about the IDF’s (apparent) inability to find these tunnels. If they are finding them, collapsing them, and leaving no fingerprints I will very impressed. That is the IDF we know and love.
