Analysis: Hamas under pressure as Israel makes progress on tunnels [View all]

For the first time since the August 2014 cease-fire came into effect ending Operation Protective Edge, Hamas launched cross-border mortar attacks throughout Wednesday.

Hamas is targeting IDF units engaged in hi-tech tunnel detection work on the border between Israel and northern Gaza. It is escalating the situation due its fear that it is about to lose its trump card.

Hamas has invested much treasure and blood in its cross-border tunnel network, and its military wing is alarmed by what it perceives as one Israeli breakthrough after another in tunnel detection.

I found this particularly interesting:

Although Hamas is keen on honing its rocket, drone and sea-based attack capabilities, its tunnel construction program remain its crown jewel.

No talk about hospitals, housing, schools - nothing that would actually help the people they were elected to help. Just weapons and tunnels. It's time for the world to think about what they're financing and for those idiotic bds-ers to see what they're supporting.
