Hamas opening tunnels to Egypt as fast as Egypt destroys them

Ma'an today reports:

The military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, announced Sunday that one of its members died in a tunnel accident in Rafah south of the Gaza Strip.

The military wing identified the man as 23-year-old Salih al-Bashiti.

Egypt's much heralded campaign against the tunnels in the Sinai may be not quite as effective as they pretend. From The Daily Star (Lebanon):

Destroying tunnels, though, requires constant vigilance. Earlier this month, the Egyptian military claimed to have destroyed almost 800 tunnels in 2013. In January 2013, however, Egyptian journalist and Sinai expert Mohannad Sabry estimated there were around 250 operating tunnels, which suggests that Egyptian forces are continuously closing the same tunnels.
