Israel-Hamas: Now dismantling the tunnels

Israel has started the demolition policy of tunnels scattered in the Gaza Strip.

The tunnels are the ways through which all unauthorized land supplies come to the Gaza Strip.

In addition, the tunnels serve Hamas to hide, in the eyes of the Israeli drones, all the movements made in the Gaza Strip, thus preventing any assessment of the possible rocket attacks on the Israeli territory.

In the tunnel blasted by Israelis, alleged 4 alleged terrorists belonging to Islamic jihad and a member of Hamas, other 9 were injured.

The tunnel problem in the Gaza Strip is not new. The issue, as reported by Israeli Defense Chief of Defense Gadi Eizenkot, concerns the removal of a concrete threat to Israeli citizens.

The collapsed tunnel would be a secret passage under the Gaza strip border, in full Israeli territory: this is not accepted by Israel, which is building a technological tunneling network that violates Israel's territory.

The Chief of Staff was peremptory claiming that any violation of Israeli sovereignty would be countered with determination.

For Hamas and Islamic jihad terrorists that the dead are 8 belonging to both sides, the destruction of the tunnel represents a dangerous escalation whose purpose is the destruction of Palestinian unity. It seems that the commander of the PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) Arafat Abu Murshid died in the destruction of the tunnel.

According to the PIJ authorities, all options will be considered to respond to this aggression as the tunnels are part of the deterrence strategy.

In addition, the destruction of the tunnel is considered to be a clear statement of war by Israel.

Benjamin Netanyahu's answer did not wait: "Anyone who hurt us will repent of doing evil."

In addition, the Defense Minister said the death penalty for terrorists would be a significant deterrent tool.

Nothing in Israel and Hamas, however, is an endless war of gimmicks, tactics and strategies that at the moment do not strengthen the negotiating relationship between the parties, indeed.

The situation could deteriorate with the withdrawal of Hezbollah from Syria, now supporting Bashar al Assad.

Some rumors have already occurred and Israel had to intervene beyond the Golan Heights, pushing to hit not only the Hezbollahs and the convoys made, but also a military site of the Assad regime. There has been no Syrian response at this time, surely for the great ongoing operations against Isis.

These are the premises after the end of hostilities in Syria and Kurdistan's accommodation somehow: we are waiting to discuss, soon enough, the endless history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
