Here’s some good news from last night:
CNN – Eight people were killed when the Israeli military struck a tunnel leading into Israel from Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
The Israeli Army said earlier it had “neutralized a terror tunnel” leading into southern Israel from Khan Younis in the south of Gaza.
Israeli Army spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said the tunnel, which he described as kilometers away from the nearest Israeli village of Kissufim, had been detonated on the Israeli side of the Israel-Gaza border, close to the security fence that separates the two territories.
Asked about reports that senior members of the militant Islamic Jihad group had been killed in the operation, an IDF spokesman said there had been “no intention in any way or at any stage” to target senior figures.
According to the Washington Post, the 8 killed included “a senior commander of the Islamic Jihad group and two members of Hamas”. The Jerusalem post reports that around nine other were wounded.
The Iranians are not happy:
“The blood-thirsty Zionist regime is trying to bend the will of the oppressed people of the occupied territories to guarantee its security by killing Palestinian youths,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi.
“Seven decades of crimes, bloodshed and child-killing could not weaken the determination this patient and courageous people at all,” added Qasemi.
You’d think these Iranian fools would realize that if Hamas and Islamic Jihad weren’t building a terror tunnel to attack Israel in the first place, they wouldn’t be dead!
