A HAMAS member in a tunnel ... UN experts arrived at a Gaza UNRWA school to check for unexploded munitions — but were stopped by Hamas due to proximity to a tunnel.

Hamas prevented a UN team of experts from working near a tunnel that was found in May near one of the schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), KAN News reported on Tuesday.
The UNRWA Zaitoun Preparatory Boys’ School “A” and Elementary Boys’ School “A” was one of two of the organization’s facilities damaged during the 11-day Gaza war that ended on May 21. A team of experts from the UN Mine Action Services (UNMAS) had arrived at the school in order to ensure the area was clear of unexploded munitions so that the school could begin its academic year safely.

As soon as Hamas learned that the team was at the school, police arrived at the scene and requested that the team leave immediately. The team subsequently canceled its plans for an additional examination at a school in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip where a tunnel was also suspected to have been dug under a UNRWA school, according to KAN. Due to the actions by Hamas, UNRWA informed the terrorist organization that the two schools, serving about 4,000 students, would not be allowed to open unless UN teams are allowed to visit the sites. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan responded to the report on Wednesday, sharing photos allegedly of the reported tunnel and demanding that the UN secretary-general and director-general of UNRWA investigate the incident.

They whine about having their access to water rationed, but seem to find enough water to build concrete lined tunnels.
Hmmmn. “(old) Tunnel near the school”? Or “(New) Tunnel dug from a hole started right under the school”
Blow it up any way. A plus.
In any case, this is one school caught... out of probably many existing tunnels using kids.
No problem. The Biden administration will restore funding to UNRWA so Hamas will be able to build tunnels with good concrete so the tunnels will be stronger and won’t collapse. It’s “Infrastructure” isn’t it ? Problem solved.
InfraDEstructure...
True. Infradestruction.
They were supposed to receive a supplemental water ration for attack tunnel cement. How inhumane that they only got for drinking, livestock and agriculture. Human rights violation./s
They tried using their pi@@, but it didn’t hang together well, causing cave-ins. All Israel’s fault. And Trump’s.
