Israel destroys tunnel from Egypt to Gaza |
2006-08-13 |
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - The Israeli army said Saturday it found and destroyed a tunnel used for arms smuggling between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. The tunnel was more than 150 meters (yards) long and opened into a chicken coop on the Gaza side, the army said. It said the tunnel was destroyed with controlled explosions. The army said tunnels like this were the reason it had been operating in the area recently, and Israeli forces expect to find more of them as operations continue. A Palestinian security official confirmed that a tunnel linking Egypt and Gaza was found and destroyed. He said nothing was found in the tunnel, but that it was likely used to smuggle weapons to Palestinian militants. |

#1 Dust off that plan to dig from the Israel Gaza border along the Egyptian border to the Sea a Mile Wide canal. Then each tunnel would need to be at least a mile long and waterproof. |
