Hamas promises 'blood for blood' after Israeli tunnel bombing

A Hamas leader on Tuesday promised revenge -- but not immediately -- for the deaths of seven Palestinians when Israel blew up an attack tunnel that stretched into its territory.

"I assure the leadership of [Palestinian] Islamic Jihad: blood for blood, destruction for destruction," Ismail Haniyeh said during the funeral in Khan Younis Tuesday for those killed in the tunnel.

The tunnel, which was built and controlled by the PIJ terror group, ran beneath Khan Younis and crossed underneath the Israeli border less than 2 miles from the village of Kissufim

Killed in the explosion were five militants associated with the PIJ, including two senior leaders and two members of Hamas' military during a rescue operation, according to the group.
