In Rafah, "There Is Almost No Home without a Tunnel"
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Nahal Brigade Commander Col. Yair Zuckerman spoke Tuesday on the 41st day of the battle for Rafah about the extent to which Hamas has integrated itself into the civilian area. "Rafah is filled with tunnels," he said. "During the last days alone, I found 17 tunnels. There is almost no home without a tunnel." Homes are boobytrapped with wired explosives that can be detonated at a distance. Last week four soldiers were killed when a bomb was set off in a home. Soldiers have found caches of weapons, rocket-propelled grenades, and long-range rockets. Zuckerman described a situation in which a myriad of small successes would ultimately lead to complete victory.
