Hamas granted Reuters journalists an exclusive look at underground tunnels in Gaza, in what appeared to be an attempt to dispute Israel’s claim that it had demolished all of the Islamist group’s border infiltration tunnels in the Gaza war. Plus archived images of smuggling tunnels in Gaza.

Most of those images are from a video documentory on Youtube about how the Palestinians have to smuggle food and dig tunnels under their homes to survive the bombings from Israel, the image that claims to be the entrace to a Palestinian Tunnel released by Israel that is cemet is a total lie also, there are no weapons being smuggled or space aliens that build state of the art missile silos and if Palestine is not recognised as an independednt nation then Ben is now a war criminal under UN law, if Palestine is recognised as an independent state then Ben is still a war criminal with a death sentence under international law.
