Qassam brigades mourn death of a fighter in tunnel collapse

GAZA, July 21 (KUNA) -- Ezzedeen Al-Qassam, the military wing of Hamas movement, mourned the death of one of its fighters earlier Thursday, following the collapse of a tunnel in Gaza Strip.
Qassam member Mohammed Reziq Junaid, 25, from Jabaliya Refugee Camp north of Gaza Strip was killed following the collapse of a tunnel used by Hamas, the brigades' website said. The brigades will continue to dig tunnels, train fighters, and supply them with weapons, it said.
Israeli reports indicated that Hamas is digging tunnels on the boarders between Israel and the Strip in order to use them for launching attacks on targets inside Israel.
Hamas also dug tunnels under Gaza towns and camps to be used in any future confrontation with the Israeli Army, the reports added.(end) mzt.lb KUNA 211114 Jul 11NNNN
