Palestinians destroy first tunnel
For the first time on Wednesday, Palestinian security officials demolished an arms-smuggling tunnel linking the Palestinian and Egyptian sides of Rafah.

Palestinian security officials said the 16-meter-deep tunnel was filled with water and sand before a bulldozer was dispatched to destroy it.

The demolition occurred as Gaza division commander Brig.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi and Col. Yoav Mordechai, head of the Gaza district coordinating office, met with Moussa Arafat, the head of security in Gaza.

Not only was this tunnel destroyed, but it was done without killing or injuring anyone. And apparently it wasn't necessary to demolish any neighboring homes. Kudos to the Palestinian security officials. :thumbsup:

2. Wow...
No homes demolished and no one killed...

The PA must have some nifty hi-tech tools at thier disposal for such efficient work. Maybe the IDF should take notes....
