Supplies go into a tunnel in Gaza

The large-scale Israeli offensive in Gaza has sent Hamas leaders and operatives physically under the ground. They are nowhere to be seen. None of them have appeared in public or in the media apart from a recorded speech by Hamas government chief Ismael Haniya. Prominent Hamas leader Nizar Rayan, who chose to remain on ground level, was killed Thursday by an Israeli missile attack on his house.
Supplies go into a tunnel in Gaza
For Israelis and Palestinians the whereabouts of Hamas leaders is no secret at all. For almost three years, Hamas was busy digging and building an extensive network of tunnels under the cities of Gaza and Rafah for military purposes, leaving smuggling tunnels across the border with Egypt for private entrepreneurs who pay lucrative taxes to Hamas.
Hamas has even taken the tunnels far away from Gaza to Hebron in the West Bank where Israeli authorities destroyed a one hundred-metre-long tunnel last November.
Ayemen Taha, a junior Hamas activist told the AFP news agency this week that
"communication between our people and the leadership has never been interrupted anywhere in Gaza, we are ready for any land attack on Gaza." He was apparently referring to the fact that the Hamas leaders are in the safe tunnels under Gaza City. According to the Israeli press these tunnels are well supplied, protected and equipped with efficient control and command centers.
Inspiration from Lebanon Hamas was inspired by the effective use of tunnels by the Lebanese Hezbollah against the Israeli attack in the summer of 2006. Tunnels were used by Hamas earlier against its Palestinian rival Fatah in the power struggle in Gaza in 2007. Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority who currently resides in Ramallah on the West Bank, earlier complained that

DELICIOUS!
Time to let Israel test some of our hyperbaric bombs on the tunnels.
Chickensh*ts.
Just like a bunch of rats to hide in a dark hole..
Thats where the disgusting rodents belong.
Must have run out of women and children to hide behind. Or they’re probably just waiting for the libtard human shields to show up.
The US used bombs in Afghanistan that destroyed all the oxygen in tunnels and caves.
I don’t think the Israelis are too concerned about tunnels. They mean business this time, and have spent a year spying on Hamas.
Looks like the ground troops will come in.
By the way, non-thread related: Democrats and Al Franken are crooks. Stealing the election in Minnesota.
What those trucks would really be useful for is mapping where the tunnels are. Unfortunately, in order to record the reflected shock waves they require long cables stretched out in every direction with geophones connected every so many feet.
Well then now is the time to give them all the cement they want. Just find a tunnel opening and start pumping.
Such bravery should be rewarded. May their tes!]K!@s be doorknockers on the gates of Hell.
The game wack-a-mole comes to mind...
That’s how Hamasholes will respond to “ground troops” - by becoming “underground troops”. Hey, maybe Democratic Underground coujld help them out! A match made in heaven, huh?
They talk of war....they threaten war....they commit cowardly acts of terrorism....they launch rockets from the safety of their family's neighborhoods......they used their own families as human shields......they claim to desire death.....HOWEVER, once the hated Jews come to do battle — the cowardly, goat humping, woman killing, butt humping cockroach bastards climb into a hole and allow THEIR FAMIES to suffer the consequences of their phony warrior rhetoric and cowardly actions...
The myth of the Islamic Warrior is just that — a myth.
If he isn't pumped full of drugs, stimulants or Koranic hate — he is hiding underground....
Drop in a buch of hungry wild boars to look for them.
I hope the IDF have a shoot on sight - take no prisoners policy on this one . There is no ‘intel’ that they need , just good body counts . No more pal pimps to have to take care of in Israeli jails for years to come . Just shoot um and let them lay . On to the next....
