Hamas militant wing demands Israel halt tunnel-finding work
In a statement, Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades military wing warns Israel to stop its digging work near the border, which Jerusalem says it is doing to detect tunnels dug underneath the Gaza border into Israel.
The statement calls the digging work an incursion into Gazan territory and a breach of the 2014 ceasefire.
“[Al-Qassam Brigades] will not allow this aggression and the enemy should not make any pretexts whatsoever, and leave the Gaza Strip immediately,” the statement reads.
