Hamas Planned Major Tunnel Attack on Kibbutz in 2014 Gaza War
(Jerusalem Post) Citing Israeli intelligence sources, Israel Army Radio reported Wednesday that just after the outbreak of the Gaza war last summer, Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif planned to deploy dozens of armed terrorists trained for the operation to carry out a large-scale terrorist attack on Kibbutz Kerem Shalom near the Gaza border. They were to infiltrate the kibbutz through an underground tunnel, slaughter a number of civilians, and take a number of others alive as hostages before returning through the tunnels to Gaza. Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Mashaal decided to postpone the attack.
