The following is from a letter from a friend commenting on the media coverage of Israel's blowing up a tunnel which was reaching inside Israel
As I'm sure is well known, the
military effort of Hamas since our last clash with them, which has continued
full steam since then, has concentrated on building tunnels into Israeli
territory, through which to launch attacks on farms, villages, etc.
Prior to the last clash they
had planned a huge coordinated attack through the tunnels, as a major military
strike intended to disrupt life here totally. This must have been trimmed to
smaller isolated attacks now since a lot of that infrastructure was damaged.
However, the object of the
exercise remains clearly military strikes at civilian centres as part of their
war to the death.
Such a tunnel was discovered in
the last day or two, having reached 2 km. from an Israeli centre. It was blown
up.
So here is one of today's
headlines:
Hamas promises ‘blood for blood’ after
tunnel bombing…….
Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh on Tuesday said the
terror group intends to respond with violence to the deaths of seven Gaza
terrorists Monday after Israel blew up an attack tunnel that stretched into
Israeli territory………
Do you see what madness/sickness we are up against day
in and day out? And what as incredible achievement it is by the intelligence
and defence authorities, that we can live full daily lives completely normally,
relaxed, feeling just as safe if not safer than in many countries in the world.
