Tunnels Keep Gaza Terrorists Awash in Arms
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Items smuggled via the tunnels to terrorists in the Gaza Strip include katyusha rockets, mortars, shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank grenades, large amounts of explosives, ammunition, and rifles. The IDF has uncovered and destroyed 11 tunnels this year - and close to 100 during the past three and a half years. Homeowners willing to allow tunnels to be dug either inside their homes or in their yards are offered $1,000 each month. If the tunnel is detected and their home demolished, the homeowners receive further compensation and assistance from the PA, which helps to rebuild their homes in Rafah's Tel Sultan neighborhood.
