A Lebanese news channel has captured footage of Hamas fighters inside the tunnels that criss-cross the Gaza Strip, preparing rockets to launch at Israel — reportedly during the temporary Egyptian-mediated truce between Israel and the terrorist organization.
The footage, which was aired yesterday, shows fighters from Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades within one of the tunnels — which, according to the Lebanese station, al-Mayadeen, serves as a launching site for the rockets and missiles being continuously manufactured in the Gaza Strip.
The report suggests that the fighters are “racing” to equip themselves ahead of the next round of clashes with Israel, negating both Hamas’s commitment to the days-long ceasefire and Israel’s assertion that it has dealt a fatal blow to the tunnel threat.
