IN PHOTOS: Israel digs out Palestine's 'terror tunnel'

October 17, 2013 08:34 IST

We present images showing a tunnel, which was recently exposed by the Israeli military, near Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha outside the southern Gaza Strip.

Israel displayed on Sunday what it called a Palestinian "terror tunnel" running into its territory from the Gaza Strip and said it was subsequently freezing the transfer of building material to the enclave.

There was no claim of responsibility in Gaza but a spokesman for Hamas's armed wing wrote on Twitter that "the determination deep in the hearts and minds of resistance fighters is more important than tunnels dug in the mud”.
