Gaza: 7 Members of Hamas Killed in Tunnel Collapse
The military wing of Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza, said Thursday that seven of its members were killed when a tunnel into Israel collapsed as they were working on it. On Tuesday, the men were repairing an old cross-border tunnel in eastern Gaza that was used for several attacks against Israeli forces during the 2014 war, said the Qassam Brigades of Hamas. Israel said it had destroyed more than 30 tunnels in Gaza during that war, but Israeli military officials have been warning in recent weeks that many of them have been restored. Four other tunnel workers survived the collapse.
