This is the weirdest thing I’ve read in months, even after reading the article I’m just left confused- random gang of tunneling teens starting a fight after tunneling through a wall? WTF?
Don’t feel bad. I’ve been seeing variations of this article pop up everywhere the last few days. I’ve read each one and I’m still confused. I’m just going to stop trying to figure it out and chalk it up to some weird shenanigans.

Basically, it’s a weird culty religious schism between a group that thinks that their dead chief rabbi is going to come back as the messiah, and those who don’t.
So the teens decided to take matters into their own hands by starting the expansion themselves by secretly tunneling over to the synagogue.
Thanks, that makes a lot more sense than random teens making a random tunnel.
