‘We knew of 7-10 tunnels before operation’

Haim Yalin, the head of the Eshkol Regional Council on the Gaza border, tells Ynet that before Operation Protective Edge, security forces knew of “about 7 or 10 main tunnels. Today they’ve found 30, and might reach 60 tunnels.”

“We have to decide if we are in a war or in a ceasefire,” Yalin adds. “The American pressure is not relevant, since I have not heard of tunnels that reach the Pentagon or the White House.”
