For the longest time, the security experts tried to convince Israelis living on the southern and northern borders that they weren't hearing construction under their floors, but now since last summer's war it has been revealed that they weren't imagining it. There are terrorists under the floorboards in many places.
What it is Really Like for People Living in the Face of Hamas Terror
Published on Jun 11, 2015On a moonless night, masked terrorist maneuver through the shadows. One by one, they enter an innocent-looking house, open a carefully concealed hatch and lower themselves deep beneath the ground. Built over months, or even years, the tunnel may extend for a kilometer or more. As the squad of terrorists moves swiftly but silently through the concrete-lined walls, they cross under the border and near their objective. Submachine guns, grenades, landmines and rocket-propelled grenades are readied. Hoods and plastic handcuffs – to be used to restrain hostages – are distributed. As the last few meters of earth are evacuated, the terrorists appear to relish the thought of the mayhem they are about to unleash. In an instant, they emerge from the ground, smack in the middle of a community of innocent civilians.
Does this sound like the trailer to the latest summer blockbuster? Unfortunately, this is no Hollywood script. This is the reality facing the thousands of Israelis living near the border with Gaza.
The Hamas terrorist organization, which rules the Gaza Strip, has invested great sums of money and enormous amounts of precious concrete to engineer a network of cross-border terror tunnels.
Their goal? To attack Israeli communities, to massacre civilians and to kidnap Israelis for use in blackmailing the government into releasing convicted terrorists.
