The Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has condemned Israel's destruction of a Gaza terror tunnel as "the Israeli crime that harmed the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip," according to Yediot Ahronot.
A statement issued by the movement said, "This Israeli crime is part of the escape policy that successive Israeli governments have taken over the generations in an attempt to evade the trials of corruption they face at the expense of the blood of our people." Fatah also stressed its firm position to continue ahead in completing the national unity with Hamas, whatever the challenges and difficulties.
