In the 20 hours since the start of the Israeli forces entering Gaza, the soldiers have found and destroyed 21 separate tunnels that stretched under the border of Gaza. These are not little holes in the dirt; the tunnels were lined with concrete, lit by electric lights, and in some cases cooled by an HVAC system. They are tunnels through which hundreds of soldiers could quickly travel. In short, they were a means for Hamas to infiltrated literally hundreds of terrorists into Israel for one large bloody attack.
As each tunnel has been discovered, it has been destroyed. Blowing up these underground structures brings a quick end to the chances for a major terror attack on Israeli civilians using these avenues of potential death.
One has to wonder just how many more of these tunnels there are across Gaza. One also has to wonder just how much the Hamas terrorists have spent to build these terror routes. We do know that Hamas fought for years to get the Israelis to agree to allow building materials into Gaza. Now, we know why.
