Hamas said to have executed dozens of tunnel diggers
These are the fine group of people the board libs here have been supporting. Just fine, humanitarian folks.
Quote:Hamas executed dozens of diggers responsible for its extensive tunnel system in past weeks, fearing the workers would reveal the site locations to Israel, a report on the Mako website’s army blog said
The tunnelers, many of whom constructed the tunnels over the course of months, would dig for 8-12 hours a day, and received a monthly wage of $150-$300, according to the blog.
Sources in Gaza told the website that Hamas took a series of precautions to prevent information from reaching Israel. The terror organization would reportedly blindfold the excavators en route to the sites and back, to prevent them from recognizing the locations. The tunnels were strictly supervised by Hamas members, and civilians were kept far from the sites.
M., a former tunnel digger and Israeli collaborator, told the website that Hamas would strip search the workers to ensure they had no recording devices or cameras hidden on them.
“The people we met had their faces covered; no one knew them by their real names, it was all codes and first names. They didn’t want to take the risk that some of the diggers were collaborating with Israel,” he said.

If you oppose Israel, whom are you supporting?

The locations of the tunnels are no mystery. All Israel has to do is to look beneath every school and hospital in Gaza.

Hamas' diggers are slaves. The lefters side with Hamas.

LOL, good one Smn. Hey Smn, what brought you here to the southwestern desert? A job? Army? Wife? Just curious, you don't have to answer.
And I see that you're against high taxes, so you better not move to El Paso and you should stay in Aggieland because we have really high city taxes.
