The Israeli army took journalists on a visit to Gaza on Wednesday (July 3), driving along the southern border area with Egypt and showing a tunnel shaft uncovered in Rafah. Israeli military chief spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, who accompanied the journalists, stood next to a tunnel shaft which he said was part of a network of tunnels built by Hamas in civilian areas and proximity to the Egyptian border. Hagari said the tunnels were used by Hamas to smuggle weapons into Gaza and store them, to fire mortars and rockets at Israel, and to allow cover for militants in hostile activities against Israel. He said the army would destroy those elements. Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza, has been the focus of an Israeli assault since May. The operation has displaced some 800,000 Palestinians from Rafah, as estimated by the UN.
