Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman on Friday said that the digging sounds Gaza belt residents are hearing underneath their homes, as well as the current wave of terrorists attacks, are a direct result of the failure of Operation Protective Edge and the immunity Hamas and Gaza have received from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon.

"Hamas is operating freely in the Gaza Strip, rebuilding the tunnel system of which dozens enter into Israel, replenishes missiles and produces more missiles every day, all without interference from Israel, a fact which allows Hamas members to also plan and implement attacks inside Israel, especially in Judea and Samaria," he said.
