Now We Know (But We Knew Then)

Remember that Hamas tunnel the PA police 'handed over' to the IDF (but emptied of all the weapons and materiel first)?

Hamas tunnel uncovered by PA near Hebron was arms training site

The tunnel near Hebron uncovered about two weeks ago by the Palestinian Authority was used by Hamas as a firing range and for other weapons training, according to PA security officials...In contrast to tunnels excavated through the Gaza Strip sand, a tunnel in the West Bank is rare.

Initially, neither Israel nor the PA could understand its purpose, since it seemed to lead to nowhere. One theory, that it was to be used to hide a kidnapped soldier, was discounted. [why?]

It is now assumed that Hamas was looking for a place to carry out military training unhindered, as well as to conduct weapons trials.

Well, I have news for you.

My highest military rank is Sergeant First Class. I am no military genius. But history I do know.

In the 1930s, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (prior to his escape in October 1937) used the Temple Mount underground caverns as...a training site and as marksmenship ranges for his troops.

Don't Israelis know their history?

For if not, they are doomed to repeat it. And, in fact, they already just have.
