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.

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.

Walls are an old concept, I give you the Great Wall, a bit further east in the Orient. The walls around Jerusalem, keeping to the geography. They minimize incursions, but are effective.
Sorry, left off. The real question is whether one wants to keep the people on the other side of the wall on the other side. Collectively at least, that question is not yet answered. Here, not in Israel who decided to keep the terrorists on the other side. Like Egypt, the Saudis. Walls aren’t an exclusive club, heck, the Vatican still has them.
