Ten of the operatives involved in digging the new tunnel were taken to a local hospitals with a range of injuries, according to the source.
Just before the tunnel collapse an explosion was heard, the source said.
Shujaya is the section of the city where some of the most ferocious battles were fought between Israeli soldiers and Gaza terrorists during the 2014 counter terror war known as Operation Protective Edge.
