Two more weapons smuggling tunnels uncovered
IDF and Border Police forces uncovered 2 tunnels used to smuggle weapons from Egypt into the Palestinian side of Rafah on Tuesday night.

The army noted it was the 40th tunnel to be uncovered by security forces since the beginning of the year.

A female IDF soldier was treated for shock after Palestinians fired an anti tank rocket at an IDF base in Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip early Wednesday morning. Several structures in the base were damaged in the attack.

In the West Bank security forces arrested 8 Palestinian fugitives suspected of terrorist activities in raids in villages in the Ramallah area, Kalkilya, Jenin and north west of Hebron.

The nme of one of those arrested is Ali Arwai, 17 - a member of the Tanzim.

An anti tank rocket was fired at an IDF patrol near Rafah on Wednesday; no one was wounded in the attack.

Shots were fired at an IDF patrol near the security fence surrounding Israeli communities in Gush Katif.

1. 40 tunnels..
= how many murders of innocent israelis??

Gee, no mention of those terrorist supporting ISM...
I guess they forgot about these 2 particular tunnels.
Maybe the ISM should get a grand tour of these tunnels
before the IDF blows them up.

3. It would be nice
If they could blow up whatever was on the OTHER end of the tunnel too ... but then, Egypt would likely object. I wonder what Egypt is doing to prevent these tunnels on its end . . .

2. The IDF were asking for it.
If they would just let the tunnels go untouched, everything would be fine. :eyes:

Besides, it probably isn't true anyway because Margot Dudkevitch is a well-known R/W provocateur (I think she had lunch with Richard Perle in 1978). :think:
