UN condemns Hamas for tunnel under schools in Gaza
2017-06-10
[WASHINGTONPOST] A U.N. aid agency that helps Paleostinians in Gazoo condemned the territory’s Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", rulers on Friday after discovering a tunnel running under two of its schools for boys.

Hamas has built a sophisticated network of tunnels in Gazoo used for smuggling, storing weapons and for gunnies to infiltrate Israel and carry out attacks.

Israel has long accused Hamas of exploiting civilian infrastructure and of using supplies for military installations instead of civilian projects.

UNWRA said Friday it "condemns the existence of such tunnels in the strongest possible terms."

"It is unacceptable that students and staff are placed at risk in such a way," it said, adding that it "robustly intervened and protested to Hamas."

The agency said it is sealing the tunnel under its premises and will ban students and staff from the building until the issue is resolved.

The tunnel was found on June 1 under the Maghazi Elementary Boys A&B School and the Maghazi Preparatory Boys School during construction work, according to UNWRA. Both schools were empty at the time due to summer vacation.
The Times of Israel adds:
The tunnel, between two and three meters underground, was built both westward into the Paleostinian enclave and eastward toward the security fence with Israel, according to UNRWA.
So it was easy to find, unlike the deep tunnels where Hamas muckety-mucks live, far from Israeli missiles.

#2  A U.N. aid agency that helps Paleostinians

That about says it all.

This is nothing but a PR move and photo-op for the slugs in the UN.
