Video of Hamas Raid Shows Why Israel Is So Freaked Out About Gaza Tunnels
To understand why these tunnels have become such a hot-button issue, one need look no further than a video released by Hamas by Tuesday, July 29. That video shows a group of fighters exiting such a tunnel and attacking an Israeli military installation. They appear to kill at least one Israeli soldier, though the combat footage is chaotic and not entirely clear. The fighters also make off with an X95 rifle, a sophisticated machine gun used by the Israel Defense Forces.
One can see why the tunnels have become such a focal point for Israeli leaders. They allow Hamas to bypass Israel's border defenses to literally burst out of the ground to stage surprise attacks that are unpredictable in scope and location.
Robust Israeli defenses, from the construction of the security wall to the Iron Dome missile defense system, have mostly succeeded in preventing attacks within Israel proper. The tunnel system is the first time in recent years that Israeli forces are facing a weapon against which they have no immediate response -- and one that leaves many Israeli civilians terrified that they could be the next targets.

The seperation between what's fake and what's real
UNRWA spokesman on the attacks;
Basic human empathy, what Israel is doing is flat out disgusting.

I be winkin' through the scope
Can't blame him for breaking down. Trying to provide aid to 200,000 people whose fates are already sealed, no safe zones for his people trying to give aid, only 85 shelters, running low on resources. If there's anyone out there doing God's work; it's men like that.
Bolivia supposedly declared Israel a terrorist state and ended visa exemption.
If true Latin America really ain't fukking with Israel....
