Additional information has been released regarding the discovery of a terrorist tunnel near Ein HaShloshah, in the area the Gaza border communities.
The IDF Spokesman’s Office reports the tunnel was about 18 meters underground and it was close to two kilometers in length (1.2 miles). The tunnel which originated in Gaza ran 300 meters inside southern Israel, and the community closest to it is Gan HaShloshah, leading military commanders to believe that terrorists were going to target that community.
The beginning of the tunnel was traced back close to Khan Yunis, and in response to the discovery, Israel once again prohibited transfer of construction equipment into Gaza. It was clear that cement imported into Gaza was used for this tunnel for the latter is far from primitive. It is lined with a thick layer of cement along its walls and ceiling, compliments of Israel’s good- will. The sophisticated tunnel was large and sturdy enough to permit terrorists to run through it along with weaponry and equipment.

No doubt that the flow of building materials will resume in a few days….
they should send them guns and ammunition also, along with training on how to best get across the border. and as a show of goodwill they should let some more terrorists go so they can help building the tunnels
After seeing this, and ,despite the seriousnessl of this dangerous provocation Netanyahu and his gang will for power and glory cave in to Obama and resume ” goodwill gestures” !!!!
What Evil !
If only Israel would have the courage of the US who would just blow up these tunnels with all the people inside instead of endangering their soldiers.
