Another Terror Tunnel Discovered Under UN School in Gaza
Yet another Hamas-built terror tunnel was exposed under an UNRWA schoolyard in Gaza.
A Hamas-built terror tunnel was discovered under a school in Gaza two weeks ago, the United Nations announced Saturday.
UNRWA, which stands for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, said that the school was shut down since the discovery of the tunnel and was just reopened last Wednesday.
“The presence of a tunnel underneath an UNRWA installation, which enjoys inviolability under international law, is unacceptable. It places children and agency staff at risk,” a statement by UNRWA read.
UNRWA notified IDF officials of the incident and lodged a complaint with the Hamas-run Gaza authorities.
Hamas terror tunnels running under UNRWA schools have been previously exposed.
The last tunnel was found on June 1 under the Maghazi Elementary Boys A&B School and the Maghazi Preparatory Boys School during construction work
Hamas has built a sophisticated network of terror tunnels in the Gaza Strip and running into Israel, used for storing weapons, smuggling and terrorist infiltrations into Israel.
During the 2014 summer war with Israel, Hamas terrorists on several occasions made their way into Israel through terror tunnels, although they did not manage to reach civilian areas.
Israel destroyed 32 tunnels during that conflict and has since made neutralizing the tunnel threat a top priority, while exposing several more since then.
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon reacted harshly to the revelation of a terror tunnel under an UNRWA school.
“Yet another terror tunnel under an UNRWA schoolyard. This is what Hamas rule looks like and this is more proof of the double war-crime committed as terror tunnels are built to attack Israelis, while using the children of Gaza as human shields,” said Danon.
“We cannot accept a situation in which UNRWA schools are used as terror bases. This dangerous incident must not be ignored and strict oversight is needed to ensure that UN facilities are not used to protect terrorists,” Danon added.
A UN inquiry into the 2014 Gaza war confirmed that at least three UNRWA schools were used by Palestinian terrorists to hide weapons and that rockets were likely fired from them on at least two occasions. UNRWA confirmed that 20 rockets were found in one of its vacant schools in Gaza, but nonetheless returned the deadly weapons to Hamas terrorists.

另一个哈马斯建立恐怖隧道暴露在加沙校园在近东救济工程处。
联合国星期六宣布,两周前在加沙地带的一所学校发现了一条哈马斯制造的恐怖隧道。
近东救济工程处,即联合国救济和工程处,说学校被关闭,由于隧道的发现和刚刚恢复的最后一个星期三。
“在近东救济工程处安装隧道的存在,享有国际法下的神圣不可侵犯的,是不可接受的。这地方的孩子和代理人员的风险,“近东救济工程处宣读了一份声明。
近东救济工程处向以色列国防军官员通报事件,并向哈马斯省的加沙当局提出申诉。
在近东救济工程处学校运行的哈马斯恐怖隧道以前暴露在外。
最后一条隧道于6月1日在马哈西小学A&B学校和马哈西准备男孩学校在施工期间发现
哈马斯在加沙地带建立了一个复杂的恐怖隧道网络,并进入以色列,用于存储武器,走私和恐怖主义渗透到以色列。
在2014年与以色列的夏季战争中,哈马斯恐怖分子多次通过恐怖隧道进入以色列,尽管他们没有设法到达平民地带。
以色列在这场冲突期间摧毁了32个隧道,并将隧道威胁中和化为首要任务。
以色列驻联合国大使丹尼·丹贡(Danny Danon)对近东救济工程处学校的一个恐怖隧道的启示作出了严厉的反应。
“在近东救济工程处校园里又一个恐怖隧道。这就是哈马斯统治的样子,这更证明了双边战争罪行是为了袭击以色列人,同时使用加沙的儿童作为人盾,因此建立了恐怖通道,“达能说。
“我们不能接受近东救济工程处学校用作恐怖基地的情况。不要忽视这一危险事件,需要严格监督,以确保联合国设施不被用来保护恐怖分子。“Danon补充说。
联合国对2014年加沙战争的调查证实,至少有三个近东救济工程处学校被巴勒斯坦恐怖分子用来躲藏武器,火箭可能至少有两次从他们那里被解雇。近东救济工程处确认,在加沙其中一个空缺学校发现了20枚火箭弹,但仍向哈马斯的恐怖分子返还致命的武器。
