Palestinians Using Advanced Tools to Dig Tunnels
(Maariv International) Amir Buhbut - Palestinians digging weapons-smuggling tunnels on the Egyptian border have begun using professional electric tools previously unseen by the IDF, said Lt. Col. Babi Ben-Itach. On Sunday, IDF forces uncovered an arms-smuggling tunnel in the Rafah area five meters deep and 200 meters long, while six Palestinians were digging the tunnel with electric tools. "Interrogation of the diggers revealed that the 17-year-olds had been digging for five days straight. They dug, ate, and slept inside the tunnels without leaving even once in order to finish the job on time," Ben-Itach said.
