Speaking of Israel...

[Beskar]

I have been told about this, but I haven't been able to find anything conclusive through google searching, but in short:

Apparently, Hamas were planning a massive assault on Israel, by dressing up as IDF forces and springing out the ground like hobbits to carry out assaults and raids.
These offensive tunnels were built during the 'diplomatic' period of Hamas and the formation of the unity government.
These tunnels cost half-million each (21 in number). The amount of tunnels altogether are in their hundreds, with many built under schools, hospitals, refugee camps, to hide rockets and other military equipment.

Sources:
Al-monitor and Haartz.
The Guardian and NYtimes mention the tunnels but not any plans.


The amount of corruption and the amount of aid-money being ill-spent is terrible. Imagine if all this money was invested in Welfare of the population and diplomatic solutions with israel, instead of being used to buy bombs and rockets.
