Good news: Hamas digging 'kidnapping tunnels' in Gaza
Hamas would like to kidnap more Israelis. As part of its effort to kidnap an Israeli, Hamas has dug a series of tunnels near the border fence with Israel. These tunnels have been dug by troops who serve in Hamas’s regional battalions, each battalion in its own sector. The opening of the tunnel is in close proximity to Israel, but inside Gaza territory, and is designed to facilitate the capture of IDF troops crossing the border into the Gaza Strip in the course of operational activity. The idea is for the tunnel to serve as a trap, inside of which Hamas terrorists are lying in wait. One group of terrorists is supposed to provoke an Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip, so that the terrorists waiting in the tunnels can capture one of the soldiers and transport him via the tunnels deep into Gaza.What could go wrong?
These specially-dug tunnels are designed to facilitate kidnappings only, and are not suited for smuggling goods. There are three other more familiar types of tunnels that have been in use in Gaza up until now. The first type are the smuggling tunnels that run beneath Philadelphi Road, and which are geared to facilitate the smuggling of military equipment, goods and people into the Gaza Strip from Egypt. The second type are attack tunnels, which are dug out of the Gaza Strip into Israel; these tunnels are geared to facilitate an attack, including kidnapping, by terrorists inside Israel. The third type are command and mobility tunnels, which span tens of miles beneath the urban expanses of the Gaza Strip; these tunnels allow for commanders and troops to move beneath the ground from one sector to another, and to send in reinforcements and equipment.

Calling the guy that allowed thousands of weapons tunnels dug from Egypt to Gaza "a good friend of the U.S., and -->ally <-- in the -->war on terror <--" is what could go wrong.
Tunnels used to kidnap Jews or tunnels to smuggle weapons which kill Jews, blame it on those who allowed it to happen.
All varying degrees of appeasement for certain lead to the same place.
Oh yes, and what does that say for the lives of the innocent? A dead Jew still means nothing.
this is what they were doing a year ago, which led to the end of the cease fire...when israel fired on terrorists who were building the tunnels
i say go back in and nuke the whole area from space...its the only way to be sure
my apologies to james cameron
And what is the IDF doing about them? Sitting with its hands folded until another soldier is abducted?
The Southern Command needs to be shaken up and steps taken to really secure the border.

How do you know what the southern command is doing?
(or not doing?)
The problem is where the tunnels originate. Because of the propagation of lies, the guilty are as clean as a new fallen snow.
I wouldn't be so quick to assume the IDF is sitting on their hands.
