Palestinian medical sources said on Sunday that five Palestinians died today morning due to a tunnel collapse near the Palestinian-Egyptian borders southern Gaza.
Palestinian Ministry of Health sources said that the medical emergency teams evacuated five dead people and two wounded.
The sources added that the casualties died as a result of suffocation.
The incident came after a series of Israeli air strikes along the borderline between Gaza and Egypt in the south of Gaza Strip through the last week.
The tunnels phenomenon appeared after the Israeli tighten siege on Gaza following Hamas takeover of Gaza two years ago.
Around 60 Palestinians died in tunnels collapse in the last two years.
