GAZA: Eight members from the Hamas group were missing Wednesday after the collapse of a tunnel in the Gaza Strip caused by rain and flooding, a security source said.
“The resistance tunnel collapsed last night due to the rainfall and flooding in Jabalia, north of the Palestinian enclave,” a source said, adding that the tunnel belonged to Hamas.
“There were 11 resistance men inside. Three of them escaped in the first hour after the accident, but the security operation ... continues to search for the eight others.”
Such collapses have previously occurred in the coastal strip, which is under an Israeli blockade and has seen three wars with the Jewish state since 2008.
