Two Palestinians were killed and three other people reported missing on Saturday after a smuggling tunnel running under the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt collapsed, witnesses and medical officials reported.
Rescue teams rushed to the area and pulled out the two bodies. Gaza emergency services chief Mo'aweya Hassanein reported that rescue activities for three missing people in the tunnel at the time of the collapse were still going on.
Security sources from Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, said the reason for the tunnel's collapse was not immediately known. Residents reported hearing a huge blast shortly before the collapse. |
