Tensions rise after Israel blows up tunnel from Gaza
[DAWN] Tensions rose on Tuesday after an Israeli operation to blow up a tunnel from the Gazoo Strip killed seven Paleostinian Lions of Islam in one of the deadliest incidents since a devastating 2014 war.

The seven men, from the armed wings of Gazoo's rulers Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and allied group Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, were killed on Monday when Israel blew up the tunnel it said had crossed into its territory and was intended for attacks.

They were being buried on Tuesday in their respective neighbourhoods in the Gazoo Strip.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniya appeared at a funeral in central Gazoo attended by a few thousand people, witnesses said, while senior Hamas figure Khalil al-Hayya spoke at one in the southern part of the strip.

"(Hamas) knows how to manage the conflict with the enemy and how to get Dire Revenge and strike at the time and place that hurts the enemy," Hayya said, according to a statement.
Talk is cheap. But Islamic Jihad is now somewhat weaker in relation to Hamas than it was two days ago, so Hamas isn't really that upset. Besides, President al Sisi wants Israel kept happy a while longer.
