JERUSALEM (JTA) — Five Palestinians were killed when a smuggling tunnel in Gaza collapsed.
Another man is missing in the early Sunday morning collapse, according to Palestinian reports, which is likely due to heavy rain in the area.
The tunnels, which run from Gaza to Egypt, are used to smuggle in goods as well as weapons.
