Hamas says militant died while digging tunnel in Gaza Strip

By The Associated Press

A Hamas militant died Sunday while digging an underground tunnel to be used in the Islamic group's fight against Israel, Hamas said in a statement.

Hamas did not identify the tunnel's location.

Bakar Sassar, 20, of the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, died "while fulfilling his holy mission in an underground tunnel... while he was preparing with his brothers and colleagues... to shake the Zionist entity," the statement read.

The statement marked the first time Hamas has officially announced that one of its members had died while digging tunnels, used by militant groups in Gaza both to smuggle weapons from Egypt and to enter Israel and carry out attacks.

In June, Hamas militants tunneled into Israel and attacked a military post, killing two soldiers and kidnapping a third, Gilad Shalit.

Negotiations on a deal to free Shalit have been underway for months, but an agreements has yet to be reached.
