The Palestinian group’s website on Sunday identified the militant as 28-year-old Ibrahim al-Masri. It provided no further details.
Palestinian fighters, especially those affiliated with Gaza’s Hamas rulers, store weapons underground and have used tunnels to carry out attacks inside Israel.
Since the beginning of this year, 14 members of Hamas have been killed in tunnel collapses due to flooding or cave-ins that have also been referred to as work accidents.
During the 2014 war, Israeli troops destroyed more than 30 tunnels dug by Hamas. Hamas has since boasted that it has rebuilt the network.
To paraphrase the Kohen Gadol’s tefillah in the Kodesh haKodoshim on Yom Kippur:
Yehi Ratzon shete’hei minaharoseihem kevureihem!!!!
At least there’s no need to bury him since he dug his own grave.
He died during an act of a declaration of war against the State of Israel.
He and his actions should be reported accordingly to the UN security council. They went do anything. But it’s good for a rebuttal the next time they accuse us of nonsense.
