Opposition leader Isaac Herzog says the government should order the demolition of Hamas tunnels from the Gaza Strip.

“The Hamas tunnels must be blown up. This is a threat that must be destroyed. Why doesn’t the government give this order to the IDF? Why are the defense minister and prime minister hesitating?” Herzog says in a statement.

“The Egyptians are blowing up Hamas tunnels on the border with Rafah while the residents of the Gaza periphery must warn again and again that they hear digging under their homes? What are we waiting for? For terrorists to emerge, with guns drawn, in some kibbutz or moshav?”
