Hamas terrorist dies in Gaza tunnel collapse, latest in series of incidents

[IsraelTimes] Terror group’s military wing says fighter ’martyred in resistance tunnel’; IDF preparing for possible escalation in Jerusalem and West Bank

A Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, terrorist was killed Wednesday when an offensive tunnel collapsed on him, the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
-based group said. Hamas named the terrorist as Muhammad Ashraf Abed, 24, from the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.

The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the terror group’s military wing, said he was "martyred after the collapse of a resistance tunnel."

Several Hamas bully boyz have reportedly died in recent months while working inside the tunnels, primarily built in sand, due to heavy rains that have led to their collapse.

During the 11-day conflict between Israel and terror groups in Gaza last May, the Israel Defense Forces carried out extensive Arclight airstrike

s against an underground tunnel system which the army described as a system of Hamas bunkers, tunnels, underground command centers and weapons caches under the Gaza Strip.

The IDF has claimed that it managed to destroy a significant portion of the network during the campaign, a claim that Hamas has rejected.

In November, Maj. Avichai Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic front man, warned residents of Gaza of the issue, imploring them to stay away from the tunnels due to landslides in the area, which he said were the likely result of the destruction of the underground system.

"According to estimates, the cause of these collapses is linked to the underground system of Hamas," he wrote in Arabic.

"These events are the latest example, but not the only one, of Hamas’s absurd use of civilian areas. It is unpredictable when the earth will shake again under the feet of the Gazooks because of this blatant exploitation that the local population pays for time and again," he stated.

In December, the Defense Ministry announced that a 65-kilometer underground barrier constructed to deal with the threat of cross-border tunnels originating in Gaza had been completed.

The tunnel collapse came as Hamas has sought to stoke rising tensions in Jerusalem.

Clashes between Jews and Paleostinians in the flashpoint East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in recent days have sparked fears of more widespread violence. Attempted evictions in the neighborhood contributed to the outbreak of last year’s conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as tensions surrounding Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

This April will also again see a confluence of the Jewish holiday of Passover, the Moslem holy month of Ramadan and the Christian holiday of Easter, leading to fears of possible conflict.

has urged Israel to take preemptive actions and prevent similar violence.

The Kan public broadcaster reported Tuesday that the IDF is preparing for a possible escalation in Jerusalem and the West Bank due to upcoming holidays and Sheikh Jarrah.
