Palestinians rescued from tunnel bombed by Israel

Egyptian authorities rescued three Palestinians trapped for five days in a smuggling tunnel beneath the Gaza border that was bombed by Israeli warplanes, officials said Saturday.

Palestinian security officials said the accidental collapse of another border tunnel on Saturday left two

people dead and four missing. Rescuers used heavy machinery to dig the three survivors out of a tunnel hit by Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday along the Egyptian-Gaza border. The three were apprehended and were being questioned, the official said. (AP)
