Israeli Planes Attack Gaza Smuggling Tunnels

Residents of the Gaza border crossing town of Rafah and officials of Hamas said Israeli airforce planes were attacking the tunnels.

Israeli aircraft bombed smuggling tunnels connecting Gaza with Egypt on Tuesday after a rocket launched from the Islamist Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip struck the Israeli port city of Ashkelon.

Residents of the Gaza border crossing town of Rafah and officials of Hamas said Israeli airforce planes were attacking the tunnels, which have been bombed several times since early January.
