Gaza tunnels

FoxNews reports Israel surprised by number, sophistication of Gaza tunnels.


IDF officials initially expected that most of the tunnels would be destroyed within days, but once on the ground learned there were more than intelligence sources knew. And on Tuesday, a U.S. intelligence source revealed that American satellite imagery had suggested that as many as 60 tunnels might have been built underneath Gaza.
...The materials used to construct the tunnels appear most likely to have been diverted by Hamas from the building materials allowed into Gaza by Israel for civilian construction.

Israel surprised - but what about America? And if America knew about the tunnels through satellite imagery, did the country who has Israel's back share the info?

Ignoring a UN demand, Israel's Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon has refused to allow construction and other raw materials to enter the besieged Gaza Strip, Maariv reported on Wednesday. The newspaper said that Yaalon rejected the UN demand on the pretext that construction materials are being used to build tunnels to kill Israelis.
