'Terror' tunnels collapse near Egypt-Israel border, seen as an 'act of God'

Within the course of three weeks, four tunnels that connect Egypt to Israel have collapsed, reportedly killing 11 terrorists.

Reports also said that some people believe the collapses were not mere coincidences, but 'acts of God.' The tunnels were often referred to as 'terror' tunnels because Hamas terrorists use them to infiltrate Israel from Gaza in Egypt.

According to Breaking Israel News, one 'terror' tunnel collapsed two weeks ago, killing seven terrorists in its wake. Within the week, two more tunnels went down, killing three more terrorists.

On Monday, another tunnel collapsed, which reportedly killed one Hamas terrorist, bringing the total number of deaths up to 11.

Because of the continuous collapse of the 'terror' tunnels, people believe that the entire network of tunnels that the terrorists have been using would soon collapse.

Others believe the cause of the collapses is the Egyptian initiative to pump seawater into the tunnels so that their foundations would weaken and eventually collapse. However, the tunnels that collapsed are located near the Egypt-Israeli border, which is far from the flooding.

Thus, one Rabbi claimed that it is God who made the tunnels collapse.

Rabbi Yitzchak Batsri said that the collapse was already prophesized in the book of Isaiah, where it says, "And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake mightily the earth."

Batsri said that the terrorists who died in the recent incidents were punished by God in the location where they were hiding their evil activities.

"God brought his judgement to them, even there," said Rabbi Batsri, who is a Torah scholar from Jerusalem.
