The Israeli declaration of discovering a new tunnel east of Khan Younis city

The Israeli occupation announced what he claimed to be an important achievement through discovering a new tunnel for the Palestinian resistance east of Khan Younis city south of Gaza Strip.

In the framework of the Israeli obsession from the resistance tunnels and the state of hysteria experienced by the enemy, the occupation Forces tried to show this incident as a significant achievement in terms of the fight against the Palestinian resistance.

This tunnel is not new or a big operation was thwarted as the enemy claimed, the tunnel is old & it was partially collapsed during the first stormy weather two months ago, al Qassam members reformed the tunnel despite the military drones & war Jets over Gaza.

But the second wave of the stormy weather in Gaza in the past few days led to the collapse of the tunnel so it became unfit for work, the enemy discovered it just three days ago. This incident cleared to the enemy on the one hand & to Palestinian people, on the other hand, the readiness of the resistance for any confrontation with the occupation Forces, so discovering this tunnel was due to natural factors and not due to a security or military intelligence efforts.

Therefore, we emphasize the following:

First: Greetings filled with pride for the resistance men stationed underground & on the ground who prepared to defend their people and their cause until Palestinians get the victory.

Second: The Palestinian resistance is promising the Palestinian people & our nation that it will remain ready to resist the occupation and remains a nightmare for the first enemy of the Arab & Islamic nations.

Third: All the resistance actions & preparations come in the context of protecting Palestinian people from Israeli attacks, assassinations, incursions, military drones, war jets, shooting & detaining fishermen & citizens and so many crimes practiced by the enemy against our people & our land.
