Ten Hamas tunnel terrorists killed. Emergency lifted around Gaza

Two bands of Hamas terrorists made it into Israel’s Western Negev Monday through tunnels. They were on a mission for a mega-terror attack against at least one Israeli civilian target. One of the bands was spotted between two kibbutzim, Erez and Nir, and destroyed; the other launched anti-tank rockets at an IDF vehicle. A firefight developed, causing an unspecified number of Israeli casualties, before it was liquidated by Israeli assault helicopters. Altogether 10 Hamas terrorists were killed in this latest incident of Hamas tunnel terror.
