Hamas Leader Haniyeh: We Are Rebuilding Tunnels, Preparing for Conflict with Israel
(Ha'aretz) Jack Khoury - The head of Hamas' politburo, Ismail Haniyeh, said Friday the group was developing its military capabilities and was rebuilding tunnels in preparation for a future conflict with Israel. "In east Gaza there are heroes digging tunnels under the ground and in the west there are those testing rockets. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades are digging tunnels to defend Gaza and turn it into a launch pad for all of Palestine." During the 2014 Gaza war, Israel unearthed 32 offensive tunnels dug by Palestinians into Israeli territory; roughly a third have since been reconstructed, reaching into Israel.
