Israel says it destroyed Hamas undersea tunnel
https://guardian.ng ^ | 6/10/18

Posted on 06/10/2018 5:25:18 PM PDT by BBell

An Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip destroyed a Hamas tunnel giving frogmen unseen access to the sea from their base, the Israeli army said Sunday. Army spokesman Jonathan Conricus told reporters that the tunnel, the first of its kind discovered by Israeli intelligence, was hit on June 3 in the north of the strip as Israeli aircraft pounded over a dozen militant targets in Gaza.

He said it was probable there were more like it not yet located by Israel.

“We continue to monitor using all our operational, technical and intelligence capabilities that we have at our disposal,” he added.

Last week’s strikes were launched in retaliation for rockets fired at Israel by Palestinians in Gaza.

Conricus said that the tunnel ran from a military facility of Gaza’s Islamist rulers Hamas into the Mediterranean sea, “a few dozen metres away” at a depth underwater of two to three metres.

I am so glad Jerusalem destroyed this damned moslem fakestinian invasion-route tunnel..
but just destroying an Hamas tunnel ... is insufficient...
the IDF needs to be unleashed to destroy all of the terrorist murder gangsters.. Hamas, Hezballah, PLO=PA-Abbas, you name it

Bibi, Turn Them Loose!
let’s get rid of all of the Satanic bloodthirsty Islam murder gangs and their weapons...ASAP!

The tunnel was likely partially paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Sobering that the “dirt-poor” refugees and women and innocent children of Palestine have the resources to fund frogmen, tunnels, underwater depots and exits, and the techniques to use them against Israel.

On the other hand, making it always ever-harder to just walk across the street and kill innocent Jews wholesale means the retail price of terrorism also goes up.

Building the wall to stop illegal aliens will not stop all illegal aliens. But it will make it harder for all illegal aliens, and WILL STOP many illegal aliens who would otherwise walk across.

I like that one. I'm surprised I did not think of it.

The vermin will just keep digging them. Israel needs to just start booby-trapping these tunnels. Make them terrified to set foot in their own tunnels.

“was hit on June 3 in the north of the strip as Israeli aircraft pounded over a dozen militant targets in Gaza.”


“Militants” protest in the street, usually yelling or chanting, with fists raised in the air and such.

“Terrorists,” OTOH, blow up innocent men, women and children, and generally terrorize people.

They go to great lengths, use technology, and show tenacity getting inside Israel to pursue evil. Too bad they can’t turn all that energy into raising food and building a productive society. It just shows the power propaganda and indoctrination has on the weak minded, the same as the commie progressive left is doing here and around the world.

They’re spear fishing. Like flying kites with bombs attached. Go fly a kite, different meaning in Gaza. May spread throughout the world. Both better than inventing something like wireless like the Zionists.

Only indirectly, through Iran. And the President who gave the world's largest sponsor of terror would simply explain it was taxing the rich. What use government makes of those dollars released is no ones business.
