Hamas deputy leader confirms his group is rebuilding its terrorist infrastructure and preparing for war with Israel.
Hamas is no longer denying that it is rebuilding its terrorist tunnel infrastructure.
On Friday, Hamas deputy leader Ismail Haniyeh publicly confirmed the group is developing its military capabilities and rebuilding the underground tunnels leading from Gaza to Israel in preparation for a future conflict, reported Haaretz.
Haniyeh made the comments as part of his weekly sermon at the end of Friday prayers in Gaza and ahead of a funeral for seven Hamas terrorists who were killed this week when a tunnel collapsed in northern Gaza.
"There are those who think that the calm is a time of rest," Haniyeh said, according to Haaretz. "But this is a continuation of the struggle. Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades are working and preparing for Palestine. Fighters are digging twice as much as the number of tunnels dug in Vietnam."
"In east Gaza there are heroes digging tunnels under the ground and in the west there are those testing rockets. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades are digging tunnels to defend Gaza and turn it into a launch pad for all of Palestine," he declared.
Haniyeh also praised Gaza steadfastness "thanks to the patience of the Strip's residents and despite the siege and war and schemes against Gaza. I tell all those who are doubtful at our resilience: forgo this logic. We are prepared to go without bread and without water, but we will not live without respect."
Hamas has been working feverishly to rebuild its infiltration tunnel network into Israel, after the IDF destroyed the network during Operation Protective Edge in 2014.

STOP giving terrorist money to kill Jews. Not one American dollar should ever go to these people.
To this day these same Hamas terrorist are kidnapping people from Africa and holding them for ransom . They are nothing but thugs , kidnappers , thieves , slave traders , rapists , pedophiles and murderers .
Time for the IDF to start killing the terrorist bastards. Again.
I’m surprised Israel can’t find these tunnels using any one of several different technologies.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
Gassing the tunnels means never having to say you’re sorry.
Probably waiting for them to be used- then tunnel cave ins take out terrorist and tunnel two birds one store
Oh, I think the Israelis have the best tunnel detection technology in the world. The very best.
The IDF probably knows where every one of these burrowing tunnel rodents is lurking.
They’re just waiting for the tunnels to be filled with murderous muzzie invaders to deploy some serious subterranean pest control. Flush, crush, & bury.
And flood them with sea water or waste water. It's fun picking off gophers as they pop out of a flooded tunnel.
