The body of a 40-year-old Palestinian man was pulled out of the debris of a tunnel collapse on the Gaza-Egypt border on Monday evening.Egypt has recently found more large caches of weapons and explosives meant to be smuggled to Gaza in those same tunnels:
Medical sources said Ramadan Hilmi Ramadan died when the tunnel caved in near the As-Salam neighborhood of Rafah.
Four Palestinians were hospitalized following after the tunnel that runs under the Gaza-Egypt border collapsed at 11.30 am on Monday.
Meanwhile, terror groups continue to shell the crossings that provide them with food and fuel, with no condemnation from within or without Gaza:"We found 27 plastic bags loaded with ammunition, a number of rockets, anti-tank missiles and bombs, which were hidden in the mountains in the Al-Roda area" of north Sinai, the official said.
Authorities also found another cache containing 100 kilogrammes (220 pounds) of TNT about four kilometres (2.5 miles) west of the Gaza border, the official added.
On Saturday authorities said they found a cache which included about 30 anti-aircraft missiles, 3,000 bullets and rifles.
The Nahal Oz crossing was shelled by Fatah three times on Sunday and five times on Monday by the PRC.
The Sufa crossing was mortared twice on Thursday by Fatah.
For the first time, a Russian-manufactured Katyusha rocket was shot from Gaza at Israel. Earlier Grad rockets were made in Iran.
Our 2008 PalArab self-death count is now at 76.
