Hamas Fighter Buried after New Gaza Tunnel Collapse
2016-03-05
[An Nahar] The military wing of the Paleostinian Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, on Friday buried one of its men killed in the collapse of a Gazoo tunnel, the latest in a string of such incidents.

Ezzedine al-Qassam said its fighter Mohammed al-Astal "was martyred while working in one of the tunnels of the resistance", referring to an underground network built for fighting Israel.

At the funeral in his southern Gazoo hometown of Khan Yunis, Astal's body was escorted to the grave by a crowd of mourners, many of them armed.

His death brought to 12 the number of Gazooks killed in five separate tunnel collapses since January 26, as growing Israeli concerns grow over the reconstruction of "attack tunnels".

Ten of the dead have been members of Ezzedine al-Qassam.

Some Paleostinians blame the cave-ins on winter flooding, while others point the finger at neighboring Egypt which has launched an offensive against tunnels into its territory.

Israel’s military chief of staff, Gadi Eisenkot, has said that krazed killer tunnels in Gazoo are now the army's main priority.

In repeated conflicts with Israel, Hamas forces have used the tunnels to avoid or carry out attacks, store weapons and at times to enter Israel and capture soldiers.

Paleostinian turbans in Gazoo have fought three wars with Israel since 2008.

And been beaten back, then graciously allowed to regroup and retrench by the Israelis in a game of 'Whack-a-Mole'.
