Reports are beginning to surface that tell a horrifying story of a near miss for the state of Israel. The Palestinians have been using billions in aid money to build their terror tunnel network for a massive attack they started planning 12 years ago!
The JTA reported:
Hamas planned to use the tunnels it dug from Gaza to Israel to execute a massive attack on southern Israel, an Israeli newspaper reported, citing unnamed Israeli security sources.
Under the plan detailed Friday by the Hebrew-language Maariv daily, Hamas planned to send terrorists through the more than 30 tunnels uncovered by Israeli troops and into six southern Israeli communities on Rosh Hashanah in September of this year.
The plan was to kill and kidnap as many Israelis as possible, according to the report.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told the security Cabinet about the discovered plot during late last week.
And from another report out of Israel:
Among it’s other achievements fighting in Gaza, Israel also captured a few terrorists and was able to extract information about Hamas’s plans.
When the soldiers interrogated the terrorists they asked “Why, with so many tunnels (41 so far) going deep into Israel, 25 meters below the ground, some of which reached as far as Beer Sheva – didn’t you use them to attack, kidnap and/or kill Israeli civilians?
The answer was this:
“We have spend the last 12 years building those tunnels and were planning a massive attack against Israel in 2 months time.
We built those dozens of tunnels throughout southern Israel, reaching many towns, not for terror attacks, but to capture territory.
We were waiting for the upcoming Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana,… we planned to use this advantage to attack and conquer the state of Israel and kill the Zionists.”
It’s also reported that Palestinians used child labor to construct the tunnels, and more than 150 died in the process!
According to an article published by the Institute for Palestine Studies, at least 160 children died during the construction of the tunnels.
If the timeline is accurate, that means this all started under Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, the so called moderate terrorist leader of the PA.
The Obama administration supports the Palestinian Authority and its unity government with Hamas.
As long as the Palies are there they will continue to do jihad against Israel until they are done away with permanently.
The UN is also located in Geneva, Switzerland.

Israel has shown incredible restraint IMO. I wouldn’t blame them for killing them all....
I am wondering...how many tunnels there may be in US near mosques...???
“They probably tortured them. “
I’d have been happy to hold the electrodes.

Hamas planned: hundreds of terrorists emerging from tunnels in new year
Security sources reveal that Hamas planned to send 200 smartly from a tunnel at once, through dozens of tunnels, across six towns in the western Negev and to kill and kidnap dozens of Israelis.

Hamas security sources reported that nrg tunnels dug by Hamas in Gaza was to carry out bombings against Israel citizens has been integrated in the new year. The plan, which avoids the ground operation was to launch 200 terrorists from a tunnel at once, through dozens of tunnels, across six towns in the western Negev, where a large portion of the cases might be the tunnels were in the hearts of communities.
The terrorists planned to kill and/or kidnap dozens of Israelis, depending on circumstances, and transfer them to the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed some things yesterday when he said that Hamas had intended to use dozens of tunnels dug between Gaza and Israel at the same time. At the Government meeting said Netanyahu "those tunnels that are designed to allow the enemy to hit simultaneously and attack Israel civilians" mass.
During the operation, the troops in the Gaza Strip because it's not just the go in a straight line from point to point, but a whole array, well-planned spurs and tunnels of interlocking with one another. Inside the tunnels, rooms are designed for storing explosives, shafts to break from the bowels of the Earth to the surface of the ground, and other characteristics. IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip blew up dozens of tunnels so far but seems to have dozens more to treat them. While it seems that right now the soldiers are handling only the endpoints of the tunnel according to the occupied territories in their hands. The security sources stressed that if the political echelon want to eliminate the problem, the army needed more time in Greece we don't even ש"כרגע [didn’t translate] in the middle of the road". They said the unplanned war with Hamas prevented a disaster the size of the Yom Kippur war, which was a "State of Israel" to its knees. They emphasize that destroying the tunnels already dropping from Hamas a strategic asset that construction work for many years.
The Israel Defense forces have a clear message to the political echelon, a week after the military began during the ground operation in Gaza: we need more time. The southern command recommended that in recent days the situation assessments to provide senior military and political leaders not to accept humanitarian ceasefire. According to intelligence estimates, such a ceasefire would serve Hamas rather than Israel, and to force him to the wall so that the heads of the military wing of the terrorist organization will ask themselves if they should continue the extensive debate which led.
The terrorist organization planning an evaluation order, and after several failed attempts to attack and not facing the rockets ' iron dome ' began to prepare for battle ground in the understanding of him who has nothing to lose but his people did not believe that it does so at an early stage, and hoped to have more points.
15 meters at an average per day
On the decline in recent days in rocket shigori explain the IDF as accumulating ability to continue the campaign, Hamas can take in terms of month too. The area was hit a third of the 9,000 rockets that were carried by the terrorist organization at the beginning of the operation, and besides some 2,000 rockets fired at Israel.
The IDF explain that Hamas began a campaign, sought to achieve through mainly civilian culminating achievement will improve economic governance in the territories of the Gaza Strip. The Organization's main strength is in the subterranean depth bombing: Israel in which a soldier was attacked or targeted iiachtef was head of the organisation in accordance with an operational plan or plan, during which several dozen tunnels were dug, not sure they are in by Israel.
Hamas ' strategic asset resource resources worth hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years. Last year, the move accelerated by a special force established under the name "nochba" ("the chosen ones"), which commenced in the trenches towards Israel. In the South of the extensive activity was detected.
Three shifts of Hamas terrorists were working on such a tunnel, dug for 15 yards-an average. Some of the tunnels are at the beginning of the work, and another part has been built along several hundred meters and even reached the perimeter fence, digging a mile long at least. Most of the tunnels on the intelligence information to vote, and sent forces to be applied. Some of them have been investigating dozens of prisoners, and showed how wide was the underground formation.
While in Israel, estimated that Hamas can build doomsday, revealed all of his strategies and surprise with things not yet seen. Thousands of rockets remaining in his possession, as well as several unmanned aerial vehicles. Assessing the situation indicates frustration among Hamas, not the egg in his hand and a customer who had not held a maneuver which was in short supply, and therefore force in his first defense lines. After that will come the maneuvering into the Gaza Strip.
The IDF, who set his first hit in the tunnel infrastructure, paints the situation that are required as stated a few days for the treatment of fully tunnels. In addition to extensive operations against the tunnels continues preparations for a possible continuation of the campaign on the leash. If necessary – there are plans to expand the operation.
“I am wondering...how many tunnels there may be in US near mosques...???”
No need to waste time tunnelling in the US, they are free from attack here.
They do use the mosques as safe houses for travelling/visiting terrorists while recruiting/indoctrinating/fundraising/conducting reconnaissance or rehearsal. They also have some rural camps or communities, like Islamberg, NY, where they can have firing ranges and such.
> > “Israel also captured a few terrorists and WAS ABLE TO EXTRACT information about Hamas’s plans.”
> How did they do that I wonder?
Gefilte fish. You don’t want to know the details.
I tend to believe Bibi, but let’s remember we are in the fog of war. It’s a good story, but almost too good.
This is one of those things we should keep an eye on in the coming months when this whole thing has settled down.
Amazing. This is so far-fetched that it must be true. It is so hard to believe that it sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory that nobody would pay any attention to, except a B novelist looking for a plot. Sort of like smashing hijacked planes into tall buildings.
I don't want to know, and I don't care.
Why do you?

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
haha
No.
Tunnelling is a too well known tactic. One the Israelis are very familiar with, both in recent practice and from their own history stretching back millenia.
They would have assumed the Palis were tunneling. They would have been looking and listening for it, using very sophisticated means.
I believe the Israelis knew about these tunnels years ago, probably as far back as when they were first started. But they sat back, bided their time and let the Palis pour effort and resources into building them. Rather than developing and implementing other, perhaps more novel (therefore harder to detect) ideas ...
With a name like Beer Sheva, it has to be good.
I say they use the Sam Cohen solution.
