Is Hamas afraid to bear the certain retaliation if they were to be linked with the kidnapping terror cell?

Was that a joke?

They are probably just consolidating. If there are too many tunnels for Hamas to control then they won't get to collect their squeeze.

Not a joke at all,

Remember what happened with the Lebanon 2006 war under Olmert's watch - it was fueled by kidnappings of Israeli soldiers.

However I was not thinking in the business sense, in light of which your suggestion makes very good sense.
