The Israel Defence Forces haven’t just been finding Hamas operatives in the tunnels of Gaza. They also captured two Chinese Communist Party engineers in the tunnel network.
This was revealed by Guermantes Lailari, a former lieutenant colonel in the US Air Force who is now based in Taiwan. He told a webinar:
There were two PLA engineers that they found in the tunnels. And China rapidly tried to put pressure on Israel to return them and even try to get the Russians to put some pressure on Israel to return these two guys. And they went back to China. I don't think they were interrogated. I don't know for sure. But why are there two PLA tunnel engineers in Gaza? To me, that's very suspect….we can suspect that that there was some involvement of China in helping Hamas design these tunnels that went on for miles and miles and were very sophisticated. Melanie.
