#1 Hamas had promised Egypt to end all support for anti Egyptian terror ops.

The discovery of pre positioned munitions ought to produce some anti Hamas seething within the Egyptian security forces.

#2 I keep thinking of the demise of "No Name City" when I see these tunnel stories.

#4 During WWII it took dozens of POWs forever to dig a tunnel just a few hundred yards long. The Paleos are using three guys to dig a kilometer-long tunnel? Doesn't add up.

Either they have hundreds of Mahmouds spreading soil through the gardens of Gaza, or they have some serious earthmoving equipment that no one can seem to find.

#5 I'd guess telephoto, 3dc. Look how shallow field depth is.

The Palestinians don't appear to be using teaspoons and fingernails as digging tools.

#6 Ummm, mising is a dimension, how wide, how tall, etc, then we will know if this is a hand operation, or if they use some kind of tunneling machine.
