A Gaza worker stands at the entrance of a tunnel used for smuggling between Egypt and southern Gaza, after being flooded with seawater by the Egyptian army in the border town of Rafah, on October 1, 2015.

Another Gaza digger has died while working on a tunnel for the ruling Hamas terrorist organization. Hamas terrorist Anas Abu Lashin, 22, was identified as the worker who gave his life for military wing of the terrorist group, the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, according to the WAFA news agency.

Abu Lashin was reportedly working on the tunnel in the al-Maghazi area in central Gaza at the time it collapsed, burying him alive.

More than a dozen Arab diggers have been killed in such cave-ins since the beginning of this year.

Terrorist tunnels honeycomb the entire region and have also been used to infiltrate under the borders of both Egypt and Israel for use in attacks, and to ferry arms, drugs and terrorists in and out of the territories.

Both Egypt and Israel have been working on various means to detect the subterranean infiltration efforts as well as come up with new ways to permanently block future tunnels.
