IDF troops are involved in destroying a weapons tunnel running from southern Gaza to Egypt, approximately five meters underground.

=======

How long before the UN condems the PA for this atrocity?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

1. probably

after the citizens of the U.S. condemn their government for providing Israel with helicopters and mutitions to fight an illegal war. In other words, never.

2. We don't know it was the PA but if it was, the PA has a right to resist

according the geneva convention. If the weapons are used against the IDF, that would be legitimate. If not then it is terrorism.

3. Damn good for nothing UN

they never condemn the PA....oh wait!

4. People in prisons...

...are disposed to digging tunnels. These tunnels are used for more than just smuggling weapons. All manner of contraband passes through them. Calling this smuggling an atrocity cheapens the term.
