Islamic Jihad fighter killed in Gaza tunnel collapse
2016-07-11
[IsraelTimes] One person was killed as a tunnel being dug in the Gazoo Strip collapsed Sunday morning, according to Paleostinian reports.

Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,’s al Aqsa TV station confirmed one man had died when a tunnel collapsed in the northern Gazoo Strip. He was named as 28-year-old Ibrahim Hussein al-Masri.

The Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group said on its website that Masri was a member of the al-Quds Brigades, the group’s armed wing.

The collapsed tunnel was the 13th reported incident of its kind since the beginning of the year. At least 17 people, most of them reportedly members of Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have been killed in the collapses.

#8  No recent news on Israel's anti-tunnel system. But I suspect they have a way to collapse tunnels when they locate them.

#5  To judge the Mohammedan blind
For how much he digs, is unkind:
We also might burrow
Were we 'neath the harrow
Of drone, fighter-bomber, and Hind.

#4  They'd all kill each other over the booty.

That's not really a downside, is it?

#3  IMO, if they dug straight downward...

#2  IMO, if they dug straight downward, they'd found oil long ago and be all rich.
