I wonder how it comes that Hamas started building such tunnel on the year 2011 ,while used the building materials ( Cement ) , Israel lift the ban on just 3 weeks ago !!! Hamas could built the tunnel using Egyptian Smuggled building materials ( before the destroy of such tunnels by Egypt ) . Israel is looking to find a way to punish innocent people in Gaza

I don't think it even made it into the US news yesterday.

Just the idea that they might abandon terrorism is ridiculous. We really just need to build a huge moat connected to the ocean around Gaza and turn it into an island.

Does a tiger change its stripes?

You can believe Israeli "OPERATIVES" built this 5 star, ***** tunnel, just as they, Israeli "OPERATIVES",, when its convenient fire rockets into Israel to foment this conflict and spread this propaganda/hasbara worldwide that in itself is funny also in that it only benefits,,,,,,,,,,,, Israel.

The tunnel could have facilitated a major attack into Israel. With hundreds of terrorists infiltrating from the tunnel into israel. The arabs instead of building a better life are only interested in murder, death and destruction of Jewish children, women and men. And yet there are those israelies who advocate the creation of an arab terrorist state aligned with the terror state of Iran, in Judea and Samaria, at the gates of Jerusalem and Gush Dan.

Either way Hamas tunnelled illegally into Sovereign Territory for the sole purpose of murder For the estimated $4 Million it cost would that not have been better spent on Gazans? We have no quarrel with Gazans - we would like to live in Peace with Gazans - so Gaza and Israel will reap the rich rewards But tragically it seems Hamas will not let you - instead preferring to hold on to power and control of Mashaals Kingdom by perpetuating the conflict, sacrificing even more lives and amassing fortunes for themselves while the rest in Gaza struggle And what I find truly baffling are the numbers of people in Gaza who DO WANT to see a normalisation of relations with Israel. If this isn't a Mirage Ali so why aren't Hamas listening?

Ali, You well wrote! This work is two years long. Hamas is punishing its own people in gaza, instead investing in hospitals, public services, schools they opt to build tunnel with only purpose to attack civilians in Israel, what a shame! When you will demand that your government invest in Gaza instead of waste your Money in a War with Israel?

there r innocent people in Gaza, They closed the border to Gaza, since Hamas help the Mursi horror show. Sinai has turned to battle zone.

Because the Israel lost its back bone is has became just like a pup barking. And if Mr. US president or Lady Ashton says "quite" then Israel lowers its tail and go to a corner.

Lets normalise relations Accept and respect each others Sovereignity Sounds too simple? It is

On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, and for about ten minutes, our entire human population held its collective breath in awe and admiration; pledging oaths of peace and tranquility. Alas, the 19 minutes were up long ago, and Man dove back into his dark, paranoid, warmongering cave, and hasn't emerged since.

2 billion euros 'lost' in European aid to Abbas. Tunnel to Israel. The list goes on. When is positive news coming from the Palestinians? Unless they accept Israel and live in peace. The Jews with their skills will no doubt assist them for a better living. But Hamas/Fatah/Hezbollah will lead the to misery and death. Shalom from Holland

That would require you to do honest work, instead of sitting around like a bunch of howling baboons in a zoo waiting for your $$handouts$$.

That must surely be what someone is going to say. Well, lets just say if this accusation hasnt been levelled against the Israeli's, it will be soon. Always easier to blame someone else for your problems hey!!

If Israel will build canal all along gazza Israel borders fill it up with water from the sea it will flood the tunnels big job but Israel build the wall which stopped the terror
