Hamas Attack Tunnels Are Meant to Target Israeli Civilians
(Israel Hayom) Yoav Limor - Brig. Gen. Mickey Edelstein, who commanded the Israel Defense Forces' Gaza Division during the 2014 Gaza war, says Hamas is lying when it says that the attack tunnels were meant to be used only to attack soldiers. One of the tunnel openings was 1 1/2 km. inside Israel, far beyond the military line. "The tunnels were meant to target civilians," he said. A year after the war, the area in Israel opposite Gaza is booming. Many of the communities are building new homes, families are joining, some of them for ideological reasons. Edelstein talks about an affluent friend who recently relocated to a community near the Gaza border because he felt it was "the right thing to do. These are people who live in central Israel but feel that this is where they need to be. And they're right."
