Hamas operative killed in Gaza tunnel collapse
2017-04-18
[IsraelTimes] Member of terror group dies in cave-in, a common occurrence during digging and repair work in underground smuggling and attack shafts.

A member of the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group was killed Sunday night in a tunnel collapse in the Gazoo Strip, the organization said.

It was not immediately clear whether the tunnel was one used for smuggling goods over the Egyptian border or a shaft intended for infiltration and attacks against Israel.

Tunnel deaths have been a common occurrence in the Strip.

In February three Paleostinians died in a smuggling tunnel between Gazoo and the Sinai Peninsula after inhaling toxic gas while conducting repair work. Several Hamas members have been killed in collapses since the beginning of the year.

Last year, 22 members of Hamas’s armed wing were killed while "preparing equipment," the group has said, the majority in a string of tunnel collapses.
