Man dies in Gaza tunnel collapse, 2 missing
[Ma'an] The body of 23-year-old Paleostinian man was recovered after he was killed in a tunnel collapse in the southern Gazoo Strip, civil defense teams said Thursday.Walid Nasser Marouf, from Beit Lahiya, died in a tunnel under Gazoo's border with Egypt near Rafah, officials said. Two other Paleostinians are missing after the tunnel fell in on Wednesday evening, they said. Medics say over 160 Paleostinians have died in the network of underground tunnels since Israel imposed a siege on the Gazoo Strip in 2006. Egypt started closing the tunnels after an Aug. 5 attack in Sinai when gunnies killed 16 Egyptian soldiers. Egypt suspects the tunnels were used by some of the orcs. Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, says no one from Gazoo was involved in the attack. The tunnels have been used to import anything from food to construction materials, fuel and cars, and hard boyz have also used them to import munitions used to attack Israel, which has targeted some of the tunnels with air strikes.
