(Ha'aretz) Shlomi Eldar - Nearly all the tunnels that the IDF destroyed are now undergoing a rehabilitation process. Owners whose tunnels were discovered and destroyed want to save their enormous financial investment and are already looking for or have already found a new route that will connect them to the section of the tunnel that was not blocked. To own a tunnel in Rafah is a profitable business. The cost of building an average one, 800 meters long, is approximately $30,000. Another $30,000 has to be added to pay the owner of the house under which the tunnel is dug - a great deal of money in Gaza terms but a drop in the ocean compared to the profits a good tunnel can yield with Gaza's craving for imported merchandise. An active tunnel can yield for the entrepreneur and his partners close to $500,000 in one smuggling operation. 2005-09-30 00:00:00Full Article
