Israeli jets pound Gaza's survival tunnels

[Free Truth]

Destruction, hey, it's their thing.

In another night-time raid, Israeli fighter jets attack several targets across the Gaza Strip, witnesses and the army say.

A building on the outskirts of Gaza City as well as two cross-border tunnels --also known as "Gaza's feeding tubes" -- along Rafah were hit in the pre-dawn attack.

The tunnels --linking the south of the impoverished enclave to Egypt, have served as conduits for vital supplies to the besieged Gaza Strip- and are frequently attacked by Israeli and Egyptian security forces.

The Israeli army says the strikes were carried out in response to a rocket attack from the strip on southern Israel. ( :roll: )

Commenting on the attack on a building near Gaza City, an Israeli military spokesman claimed it was being used for manufacturing rockets.

There were no immediate reports of damages or casualties from Saturday's attack.

As a result of the crippling land, sea, and air blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt since June 2007 when the democratically-elected Hamas government gained control of Gaza, the enclave's 1.5 million inhabitants have had to rely heavily on perilous tunnels as the sole means of obtaining essential supplies such as food and medicines.
