Tunnel collapse traps six in Gaza

[drdon326]

A tunnel used for smuggling between Egypt and the Gaza Strip has collapsed trapping six Palestinians underground.

Palestinian officials received the Israeli army's permission to send rescue services into a closed military area in Rafah to retrieve them.

The tunnel collapsed on Thursday and local residents discovered the problem when they saw a large hole on Friday.

Last month Israeli forces rescued three Palestinians who had been trapped in a collapsed tunnel they had been digging.

Earlier reports that rescue teams had extracted two people from the tunnel have turned out to be false, Palestinian officials said.

4. Pure propaganda

They must be mistaken. I'm sure they were merely digging a tunnel to use as a water line. They would never use a tunnel to smuggle weapons!

I think this ranks with the terrorist who opened his own mail bomb after it was returned for insufficient postage.
