Video: Hamas Militants Show Unharmed Tunnel
2014-08-10
[Ynet] Al Jazeera news hound speaks to Gazoo snuffies inside attack tunnel, who claim they spent at least 21 days locked underground.

Al Jazeera aired footage on Friday documenting al-Qassam Brigades bully boyz in a Gazoo tunnel, less than a day after airing similar footage of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, snuffies inside an attack tunnel.

Tamer Al-Mishal, one of the Qatari network's news hounds, showed in the latest video a tunnel in the town of Al-Qarara, on the eastern end of Khan Yunis — the site of fierce fighting between the IDF and terrorists.
Four and a half minute Al Jazeera video can be seen at the link -- just click on the headline, above. It is in Arabic, but for those with knowledge of construction, the visuals are the key, anyway. Given all the Rantburg engineers, I am hopeful for useful comments,
However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
the snuffies made no claim that the terror tunnel was a passageway across the border into Israel, differentiating the tunnel from those targeted by the IDF during the 29-day-long Operation Protective Edge.

Al-Mishal's story has won praise on social media networks as a "miracle" after the news hound managed to talk to members of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,' military wing, who claimed they had been locked inside a tunnel for at least 21 days with no supplies.

Of the 29 Death Eaters who were in the tunnel during the operation, only 23 were left. They claimed that parts of the tunnel had been bombed by Israel, and six of the bad boyz were potted either fighting the IDF or in rescue operations after the tunnel demolition.

One of the terrorists, who — according to the report — belonged to an elite unit in the al-Qassam Brigades, claimed that he and his friends were locked inside the tunnel for days without contact to the outside world.

"We couldn't believe it… we found a water source deep in the ground," he said, who claimed the group accumulated water in buckets. He also showed the remains from the dates they ate, claiming that the group split the dates in two to provide them enough energy during Ramadan.

The claims in the report could not be independently verified.

On Thursday, Al-Mishal interviewed Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, operatives and field commanders, one of them stressing they do not intend to leave their posts following the ceasefire and that they were ready to renew rocket fire and terror attacks against Israel if their demands — among other things, the lifting of the Gazoo blockade and the building of a seaport — are not met.

"Our rockets are still aimed at the Israeli vehicles and tanks that are staying in one place. We've blown up more than one of the enemy's tanks in the border area," one of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Death Eaters serving at the armored unit told the news hound who toured their posts.

#4  Disclosing that the tunnel sits somewhere near an aquifer might be problematic for these folks. I can't believe, that in that part of the world, these wouldn't all be seriously mapped by 'someone'.

Although they might have just busted in to a sanitation sewer.

#3  That sentence, before it passed through Fred's little translation machine:

...and six of the terrorists were killed either fighting the IDF or in rescue operations after the tunnel demolition.

As Fred is neither Jewish nor of Jewish descent, the conclusion presents itself. The results of the translation machine are denoted by a light grey dotted underline.

#1  ,.... and six of the bad boyz were potted either fighting the IDF or in rescue operations after the tunnel demolition.

"Potted"....? A typo, or subtle Yiddish humour ?
