[IsraelTimes] Conflicting reports in Paleostinian media blame rain, Egyptian military action for 12th deadly cave-in of the year
Conflicting reports in Paleostinian media outlets say between two and five people were killed when the tunnel collapsed beneath the city of Rafah in the southern end of the coastal territory, along the border with Egypt. At least two were said to have been injured and one person may still be missing. One report said unseasonable rains had caused the collapse, while another outlet reported that the Egyptian army had detonated the end of the tunnel that entered its territory, and flooded the remainder. The collapsed tunnel was the 12th reported incident of its kind since the beginning of the year. At least 16 people, most of them reportedly members of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, have been killed in the collapses. | |

#1 I doubt the juice caused the collapse, but they could have tipped off the Egyptians. |
