Gaza Glutted with Smuggled Goods - Non-Hamas Tunnel Owners Suffering
(Ha'aretz) Avi Issacharoff - Hamas has recently set up its own tunnels which it uses to smuggle merchandise from Egypt. As a result, existing, non-Hamas run tunnels are suffering financially. The Hamas tunnels have brought in an overflow of goods, causing a complete standstill in dozens of non-Hamas tunnels. Moreover, work on digging additional tunnels has also stopped. The recent increase in smuggled goods has caused many factories to renew activity, with increasing supplies of gasoline and cement actually causing Gaza to experience an economic reawakening.
