Gaza Smuggler: It's Harder Now to Get Through
(Ha'aretz) Amira Hass - More than 30 tunnels for smuggling Egyptian contraband into Gaza have been built since September 2000, according to a Rafah merchant who ran smuggling tunnels. The IDF says that since September 2000, more than 90 tunnels have been located and shut down. But both the merchant and other Palestinian sources say that often, the IDF counts an existing tunnel twice or more, because a new shaft is dug to the actual tunnel once the IDF closes the original shaft.
