Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh spoke in Gaza last week at the funeral for terrorists who were killed in a tunnel collapse. At least seven Hamas members were reportedly killed in the accident, which occurred as tunnel digging from Gaza to Israel continues.
Quoted by English language news, Haniyeh told participants of the funerals that the new tunnels are double in length and part of the plan to “defend the Palestinian people and liberate the holy sites”. The Hamas prime minister was full of praise for the determination of person involved in building in tunnels in eastern Gaza while in western Gaza, daily testing of new rockets is conducted as they fire them into the Mediterranean.
Recent reports from southern Israeli residents who claim they hear the digging have been played down by the IDF, insisting the military is on top of the situation and the noises reported by residents of Gaza border communities are not from the digging of new tunnels. Despite the IDF’s firm response, residents and many community leaders are certain that a new tunnel network is under construction.

You cannot trust the government or the IDF, they care more about politics than the people!!!
The people should create their own task force to counter dig to where the noise comes from and pump gas into the tunnels. Than send a spark, and watch the fire works
