Published: 12.29.08, 00:31 / Israel News Destroying the tunnels under the Philadelphi Route means cutting off Gaza terror's lifeline, military sources told Ynet Sunday.
Earlier, IAF fighter jets targeted the smuggling tunnels along the Israeli-Egyptian border. The strike was under four-minutes long, added the sources, but it took months to plan.
Destroying the tunnels was one of Operation Cast Lead's objectives. The tunnels, used to smuggle weapons and ammunition into Gaza escaped any major strike for the entirety of the ceasefire between Israel and the militant groups in Gaza, as well as for several months prior to it.
