Haven't we been down this tunnel road before?
Tunnels of weapons and images
By Olivier Guitta June 1, 2004
Recently, Israel had to launch a preventive military offensive in Gaza. The goal was to destroy the tunnels used by Palestinian terrorists to smuggle arms, explosives, bombs, and very possibly also Katyusha rockets from Egypt into the Gaza Strip. Israel had no choice to act because of the growing threat that terrorists would use their long-range missiles against cities deep inside Israel. The situation in Rafah is very representative of where the peace process is stuck: the physical tunnels, added to the "tunnel of images," are pushing us farther away from any resolution of the conflict.
Since the start of the Second Intifada, or rather Arafat's War, in September 2000, Palestinian terrorists have been building tunnels under civilians' houses in order to smuggle all kind of weaponry. Rafah, a refugee camp administered by the United Nations alongside the Egyptian border, has been the focus point of this activity. Some of the civilians accepted money in exchange for building these tunnels in their houses, some were just relatives of the terrorists while others were forced to accept the digging as fact.
