| Gazans building 'underground city' |
| 2006-10-24 |
Palestinian militants are constructing an "underground city" in the Gaza Strip to store weapons and attack Israeli forces in the future, army chief of staff Dan Halutz has been quoted as saying. "The Palestinians are continuing digging an underground city in the Gaza Strip," said Halutz, who appeared before the parliament's foreign affairs and defence committee on Tuesday. "They are constructing tunnels in the urban parts in order to confront our forces," a member of the committee quoted Halutz as saying. The Israeli army has in recent weeks intensified its ground operation in the battered Palestinian territory, launched following the abduction of a serviceman by militants in a cross-border raid near Gaza on June 25. The raid sparked a massive Israeli offensive which has left more than 250 Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers dead in Gaza in four months. Halutz was quoted as telling committee members that the army had discovered and destroyed 15 tunnels in the Gaza Strip during an operation along Gaza's border with Egypt, through which Israel claims large quantities of weapons are being smuggled. so the weapons are concentrated in stores. good. just find out where they are (paleos will talk given enough "incentive"). |

| #16 Digging all those tunnels in an area which has been inhabited for thousands of years... the paleos must have come across some interesting relics. And, just as they've done with the Temple Mount, destroyed them. |

| #15 periodic local seismic mapping needs to be carried out - with LARGE scale explosions...how're those tunnels holding up, molemen? |

| #11 I suspect the Paleos are happy to dig for nothing other than food and bullets Indeed. RB History is replete with the many references the Prophet made about this very action. Most notably, "They are never so happy, as when they are burrowing" The words of the Prophet Lucky (PBUH) may he have a fine Campy Gear System and a never flat tube. |

| #10 And with the famous paleo engineering and project management skills, I am sure these tunnels will be just like NORAD. |

| #2 The Israelis should buy a big tunneling machine (mole) and dig tunnels under GAZA to the sea then open them to the sea.... Let the GAZA dwellers hit salt water wherever they dig. |
