Five Palestinians Killed As Israel Strikes Gaza Tunnel.

At least five Palestinians were killed and several others injured on Monday when Israel blew up a tunnel stretching from the Gaza Strip into its territory, the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run enclave said.
Name of the three peoples that we're killed are Ahmed Abu Armanah, Omar Al-Faleet and Misbah Shubir, Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said.
Shubir was from Hamas’ armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades confirmed, while the others were believed to be from Islamic Jihad, an allied militant group.
Earlier Monday, Israel’s army “neutralized a terror tunnel leading into southern Israel,” military spokesman Jonathan Conricus told journalists.
“The tunnel was detonated from within Israel, close to the security fence. The (army) actions are in light of this grave and unacceptable violation of Israeli sovereignty.”
Conricus said thanks to groundbreaking technology this “active tunnel,” which was still being dug, was discovered and forces blew it up inside Israeli territory.
He added that military intelligence had been tracking it for some time.
Israel has long claimed Hamas has been investing in new tunnels since the last war to attack Israel rather than helping its own people recover.
The military’s discovery followed word from the UN’s refugee agency that it had found what appeared to be a tunnel burrowed beneath one of the schools it operates in the Gaza Strip. Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), said in a statement that the organization “robustly intervened with relevant parties to protest the violation.”
Israel’s military body responsible for governing Palestinian affairs noted UNRWA’s condemnation, adding that “Hamas is lying not only to the world but to the people of Gaza.”
US President Donald Trump’s special Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt took to Twitter to rail against Hamas, which the US like most of the West considers a terrorist organization.
Hamas uses the world’s generosity to shield terror. Palestinians in Gaza deserve so much better,” Greenblatt wrote.
Greenblatt also said that, in contrast, a rare meeting between top Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the West Bank yielded “meaningful steps” that strengthened economic ties between the two sides.
