Hamas in Gaza Takes War Against Israel Underground Via Tunnels
(TIME) Aaron J. Klein and Karl Vick - Israel has discovered yet another tunnel reaching almost half a mile into the country from Hamas' territory in Gaza. Lined with concrete and outfitted with electric lights and ventilators, the passage was tall enough to allow dozens of fighters to emerge inside Israel in a matter of minutes. "The possibility of a multi-pronged attack is the nightmare of every commander along the Gaza fence," said a senior officer in the IDF Southern Command. In 2006, Gilad Shalit was seized by militants who emerged from a tunnel that came out behind the tank where Shalit and two others soldiers (both killed in the encounter) were stationed.
