How much do the Palestinian's hate Israel? Try this measurement: An undisclosed number of Hamas terrorist spent 4 months (120 days) digging a tunnel to create a booby trap which killed 1 Israeli:

The spokesmen said Hamas members spent four months digging a tunnel to the east of Gaza City, near the Karni border crossing with Israel, and planted explosives inside.

During the same period, a Hamas member posed as an informant cooperating with the Israeli security forces, the spokesmen said. Israel relies on a vast network of Palestinian informants to track down Palestinians involved in violence.

The supposed informant provided the details that drew the soldiers to the booby-trapped chicken coop, which hid the entrance to the tunnel. As the soldiers reached the scene, the explosives were detonated, the Hamas men said.

Fortunately for Israel, at this rate the country will remain populated for another 2.2 million years. The bombing also wounded 4 other Israeli soldiers, although troops responding to the explosion did kill 4 Palestinian terrorists.

Obviously RPGs and AK-47s are tools of the terror trade. At what point does the shovel join their ranks?

UPDATE: Of course, they may have to stop employing grenades. It is awfully difficult to wield a shovel with one hand.
