"VIP Tunnel" Smuggling Wealthy Gazans into Egypt

[Ha'aretz] Avi Issacharoff - A special "VIP tunnel" was recently dug to smuggle wealthy or important people under the border between Egypt and Gaza, Palestinian sources report. The tunnel has electricity and telephone service, and is high enough that people can walk upright.

Hamas collects taxes on all the tunnels in Gaza.
