Sorry, Don, You are incorrect.

"Last August, when the alleged Palestinian attack happened, the only way out of Gaza was through one of the tunnels.

The Egyptians have reported that SOME of the militants came through the tunnels, so it follows that the rest must have come from somewhere other than Gaza.

At least some of them cannot have been Hamas or Palestinian since Israel has the rest of the border blockaded."





And my earlier post was also from 2011....

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Egypt lifted a 4-year-old blockade of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, greatly easing travel restrictions on the 1.5 million residents of the Palestinian territory in a move that bolstered the Hamas government while dealing a setback to Israel's attempts to isolate the militant group.

The sense of relief was palpable as buses piled high with luggage crossed the Rafah border terminal and hundreds of people traveled abroad for overdue medical appointments, business dealings and family affairs. In Israel, fears were heightened that militants and weapons will soon pour into the territory."
