Gaza – The Islamic militant group Hamas says a group of militants have gone missing inside a tunnel built to attack Israel that collapsed due to heavy rainfall.

Hamas confirmed the incident in a statement Wednesday, a day after Palestinian social media activists publicized the matter.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has built a sophisticated network of tunnels that it has used to hide weapons, fire rockets into Israel and penetrate Israel to carry out attacks. Israel destroyed dozens of tunnels in its 2014 war with Hamas in Gaza.
Palestinian activists say the tunnel was in northern Gaza and that at least seven militants were inside when it collapsed Tuesday. Hamas says it is searching for the missing.
Three Hamas militants were killed in other tunnel collapses in Gaza this month.
The mining industry should make a tumult! There should be regulation in place to make sure conditions are safe! We don’t want anyone to get hurt while building these tunnels, would we?

עַל-כֵּן, יֵאָמַר, בְּסֵפֶר, מִלְחֲמֹת יְהוָה: אֶת-וָהֵב בְּסוּפָה, וְאֶת-הַנְּחָלִים אַרְנוֹן
וְאֶשֶׁד, הַנְּחָלִים, אֲשֶׁר נָטָה, לְשֶׁבֶת עָר; וְנִשְׁעַן, לִגְבוּל מוֹאָב
חַסְדֵי יְהוָה כִּי לֹא-תָמְנוּ, כִּי לֹא-כָלוּ רַחֲמָיו
חֲדָשִׁים, לַבְּקָרִים, רַבָּה, אֱמוּנָתֶךָ
וְלֹא-אָבָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל-בִּלְעָם, וַיַּהֲפֹךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְּךָ אֶת-הַקְּלָלָה, לִבְרָכָה: כִּי אֲהֵבְךָ, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ
לֹא-תִדְרֹשׁ שְׁלֹמָם, וְטֹבָתָם, כָּל-יָמֶיךָ, לְעוֹלָם

Why is it that Egypt seems to be able to destroy the tunnels?
couldn’t have happened to nicer people.
