Three Pali Jihadists Die In Gaza Tunnel Collapse


Boy, it's a real shame, isn't it? :covers mouth, laughing uncontrollably: Three Palestinian jihadists, smuggling all kinds of explosives, munitions and other weapons of war were killed when their tunnel collapsed on them along the Egyptian/Gaza border. Here's the details from AFP:


Three Palestinians were killed at dawn on Saturday when a tunnel collapsed under Egypt's border with the Gaza Strip, an Egyptian security official said.
Police found the bodies after hearing a loud explosion near the Salaheddin Gate which leads from the Egyptian side of the border into the impoverished Palestinian coastal territory

Can you imagine what would be found if the Egyptians actually LOOKED for these tunnels? The point is we have some of the tunnel collapses and explosions once in awhile, killing these misfits but when you calculate just how much weaponry and munitions are getting into Gaza through these tunnels, it has to be staggering.


Three killed as Gaza border tunnel collapses

EL-ARISH, Egypt (AFP) — Three Palestinians were killed at dawn on Saturday when a tunnel collapsed under Egypt's border with the Gaza Strip, an Egyptian security official said.
Police found the bodies after hearing a loud explosion near the Salaheddin Gate which leads from the Egyptian side of the border into the impoverished Palestinian coastal territory.
Several Palestinians have died in similar incidents in recent months in the tunnels, which are used to smuggle arms, fuel and other supplies into Gaza.
In mid-October, Egyptian security forces blew up 10 tunnels used by smugglers to slip contraband into the territory which is ruled by the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement.
Israel has enforced a blockade on Gaza since Hamas seized power there in June 2007 during violent clashes with the Fatah faction loyal to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas.
Israel has repeatedly urged Egypt to do more to shut down the tunnels.
