The Underground War on Israel
(Weekly Standard) Lee Smith - Operation Protective Edge revealed a network of attack tunnels that end in Israel, where over the last two weeks Hamas commandos have attempted several terrorist operations. "Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said that we are not under siege, we are imposing a siege," says retired IDF officer Jonathan Halevi, now a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. "What he meant was that [Hamas] can use tunnels as a strategic weapon. If you multiply tunnels, you can use them to send hundreds of fighters into Israel and create havoc, totally under cover. According to Hamas, the tunnels have changed the balance of power."
