| Ma'an -- Five Gazans were injured while working inside the tunnels between Rafah and Egypt on Friday morning, medical sources confirmed. Officials at Abu Yousef An-Najjar Hospital in Khan Younis said two workers suffered electrical shocks and three others were injured when a tunnel collapsed. One of the youth lost a finger, they said. Israeli forces dropped three bombs in the Gaza tunnel region on Friday morning. Locals say the impact of the strikes destabilizes the already fragile tunnels, which provide goods as diverse as cars and food basics to a besieged Palestinian population in the locked down Gaza Strip. |
