Hamas: Closing tunnels without alternative permits occupation to blackmail Gaza

Hamas movement condemned the closure of tunnels without providing an alternative in light of the occupation new announcement to prevent the entry of construction materials into the Gaza Strip.

The movement spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement on Sunday that the current situation permits the occupation to blackmail Gaza and impose its control over its citizens.

The occupation authorities stopped this morning coordination to the entry of construction materials into Gaza through the Karm Abu Salem military crossing south of the Strip.

Raed Fattouh, spokesman for the Coordinating Committee of the entry of goods and construction materials into the Gaza Strip, told PIC that the occupation informed them that the decision is valid for two days without giving them any reasons.

This decision came hours after the occupation announced the discovery of a booby-trapped tunnel between Gaza and the 1948-occupied territories.
