Nissim Hakmon and his neighbors say they hear banging and clattering at night.<br />They are convinced it can only mean one thing: Hamas is tunneling under their homes from Gaza and will one day emerge, guns blazing, to attack or kidnap them.<br />The Israeli government says its investigations have not come up with any evidence the night-time noises reported by villagers living near Gaza emanate from tunnels, but assertions by Hamas of extensive cross-border digging has only fueled concern.<br />"The fear among everyone here is constant," Hakmon told Reuters in his village of Pri Gan, near the Gaza Strip.<br />"I've heard the sound of a hammer and chisel and my neighbor says she can hear them digging under the cement.<br />We're stressed out."
