Pali killed as a tunnel on Gaza-Egypt border collapses
 Khan Younis- Palestinian security services and civil defense forces found on Thursday the body of Muhammad Sa'id Qishtah, aged 30, in the rubble of a tunnel which collapsed at midday in the Salam neighborhood of Rafah. This tunnel was located west of the Rafah crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border. Midday. Probably closed the breakdown lane for maintenance. Two more Gazan citizens were injured when the tunnel collapsed, one of whom was described as being moderately injured. They were taken to Ash-Shafi' hospital in Gaza City for treatment. The border area between the Gaza Strip and Egypt contains a network of tunnels which Palestinian fighters use as well as smugglers of all kinds of goods. Many Palestinians have been injured as the result of the collapse of these tunnels. Keep up the good work, boys... Posted by: tu3031 2007-03-16 |
