Video Shows Islamic Jihad Digging New Gaza Tunnels

[IsraelTimes] Gazook terror group Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...

-based news channel last week, a news hound was given access to digging operations that, he said, began as soon as the recent conflict in Gazoo ended.
English subtitles for the video were provided Tuesday by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
At the start of the clip the news hound is shown being taken blindfolded to the tunnel entrance to conceal its location. Once inside the tunnel the news hound, who must hunch over in order to make his way along the low passageway, explains that it is being "dug by resistance fighters in this border area."
The tunnel looks similar to dozens of others discovered by IDF forces in the past with cement blocks positioned to shore up the walls and roof.
"What is remarkable about this tunnel is that it is has been dug recently," he says. "As you can see it is still being dug."
On Sunday unnamed defense officials rejected claims by another bigwig that Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, has already begun rearming and rebuilding its attack tunnels, less than two weeks into an open-ended truce in the Gazoo Strip.
The tunnels became a main objective of a ground invasion of Gazoo in July, and several were used to carry out attacks against Israeli soldiers both in the Strip and in Israel.
During the seven-week long military campaign, the IDF destroyed over 30 tunnels dug under the border with Israel.
The sides agreed to cease hostilities in late August, after 50 days of fighting.
Islamic Jihad operates as a separate, and sometimes rival, organization to Hamas, which rules the Gazoo Strip.
In the video, workers can be seen dragging chains of large buckets of excavated sand from the tunnel.
"There have been some cave-ins," the news hound says," but the work goes on."
At the end of the tunnel, a worker is seen digging sand away to lengthen the passage.
"We are now in one of the tunnels of the Al-Quds Brigades," the worker explains, using the name of Islamic Jihad's armed wing, "on which work began as soon as the war on Gazoo ended, and the ceasefire was declared. We have begun work and we are continuing it regardless of the threats by the Zionist enemy."
"We will not be hindered by the threats of the enemy, or by the ban on importing cement and other building materials," he adds.
When asked about the purpose of the tunnels, the worker responds: "We are getting these tunnels ready for the next battle in order to launch attacks and fire mortars and artillery."
"These tunnels will also have other uses which we will not disclose," he adds in the video.
The news hound was also shown another, more developed tunnel, that included underground firing positions from which Islamic Jihad fighters plan to emerge in order to fire anti-tank missiles at IDF armored forces should they enter Gazoo.
In the video, its members openly demonstrated how they plan to set up the weapons and also showed off a shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missile.
At the beginning of the week an unnamed bigwig said Hamas had resumed digging the cross-border tunnels, replenishing its weapons stockpile, and manufacturing projectiles.
"We see that they've already started smuggling weapons into Gazoo from Egypt, producing rockets and repairing the tunnels," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
Citing intelligence information, the source said that Hamas's ability to produce rockets has been severely hit, but added that about 40 percent of the terrorist group's rocket-creation facility is still functional.
Other officials later denied that Hamas had begun rearming.
