Israel Issues Warning of Renewed Military Strikes if Tunnels in Gaza are Reopened

Israel has warned that the delicate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip could quickly erupt into a new round of violence if tunnels are reopened by Palestinians.

The tunnels are used by Palestinians to smuggle goods into Gaza from Egypt but Israel has said Hamas militants have been using the tunnels to bring in weapons. Those weapons have been used to launch rocket attacks into southern Israel, the main reason for Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.

Israel has enforced a blockade of the Gaza Strip and Palestinians have argued that the tunnels are their only means of acquiring the basic supplies needed for survival. The tunnels were a main target of Israeli strikes during their 22-day offensive and according to Defense Minister Ehud Barak more than 150 of the tunnels had been destroyed.

Many of those destroyed tunnels have now been reopened and Israel has issued a stern warning against smuggling, assuring the Palestinians that they would take swift action if the tunnels continued to operate.

While Israel has demanded an end to smuggling the Palestinians have called for an end to the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
