Israel's aerial bombing of the tunnels hasn't stopped trade but it has certainly undermined the tunnels structurally, as the death of two more Palestinians today testifies - bringing the weekly total to at least nine.
AFP - Two Palestinians were killed on Thursday when a smuggling tunnel linking the Gaza Strip to Egypt collapsed, medical sources said.
At least nine people have been killed this week in cave-ins and other mishaps in the vast network of tunnels between Egypt and Gaza used to smuggle food, goods and, according to Israel, weapons and explosives.
Over the past three years, 127 people have died in the tunnels, according to Iyad Abu Hujaier of the Palestinian Centre for Democracy and Conflict Resolution (PCDCR) which recently compiled a report on the tunnels. more
