Destroyed Hamas tunnel larger than predecessors, could fit dozens of terrorists
2018-01-16
[Ynet] Depth of destroyed tunnel estimated to be dozens of meters underground, height and width large enough to allow passage of dozens of terrorists, equipment; tunnel discovered weeks ago, Egypt notified of its existence over weekend, said to be incensed with Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, at breach of illusory sovereignty; Kerem Shalom Crossing to reopen Tuesday.

The Hamas tunnel destroyed over the weekend underneath the Kerem Shalom Crossing was several dozen meters deep, according to estimates, and its height and width are said to be more considerable compared to previous tunnels, enabling the passage of a several-dozen-strong force, as well as armaments, through it.

The tunnel was first discovered several weeks ago, while Egypt was notified of its existence this past weekend, and is incensed with Hamas due to the tunnel's encroachments into the Sinai Peninsula.

#3  at that depth, it would have been vulnerable to water seepage so in addition to the expense of excavation and structural support the cost of construction would have included waterproofing

#2  Engineered by the North Koreans?
Deep enough to pass unimpeded under the barrier walls.
