Egypt Pumps Toxic Gas into Smuggling Tunnel, Killing Two Palestinians
Jpost ^ | 2/11/19 | Anna Ahronheim

Two Palestinians died Monday and several others injured after Egyptian troops pumped toxic fumes into a smuggling tunnel stretching into the Sinai Peninsula from the Gaza Strip.

The Hamas-run Gaza Interior Ministry was quoted by Wafa news as identifying the two as 39-year-old Hamas officer Abdul Hamid al-Aker, who was killed during a “security mission to inspect the tunnel,” and 28-year-old Sobhi Abu Qarshin. Abu Qarshin was said to have died during a rescue attempt.

Several other security personnel were rescued by civil defense teams from inside the tunnel and were rushed to hospital, where they were described as being in moderate condition.

The ministry did not say what gas was used by the Egyptians.

Egypt has in the past flooded Hamas tunnels along the Gaza Strip with seawater or sewage, and has destroyed hundreds of homes on the Egyptian side of Rafah to remove the smuggling tunnels used by Gazans.

Not a bad idea for our DEA to do! :)

Good idea. Do it once and voila...no more tunnels.

There is probably a stockpile of phosphurous grenades laying about that could be used on southern border.

Perhaps they thought they were large moles.

Imagine the outcry if Israel had done this.
But it was Egypt. Waiting for UN condemnation... <crickets>.

There must be something wrong with me. This story made me smile and think of "Caddyshack" and Belushi's character trying to get rid of the moles...

I like the approach though - pre-dug graves, no muss, no fuss.

No, THIS is how you handle rats in tunnels:

Youtube: Pocket Gophers being blown away by the Rodenator Pro

(Injects a mix of propane and pure oxygen, then ignites it. Underground fuel-air bomb!)

Pump colored smoke into the tunnel and watch where it comes out. Then bomb that entrance.

——Fill it with gasoline and light it up——

Using chlorine or a derivative would be illegal gas attack

By dumping a lot of gasline, but not filling the tunnel and then using a big fan to blow the vapors into the tunnel and then igniting would be legal.

That is how I kill yellow jackets

Okay, I’m sold!

I wonder if this method would work on armadillos as well Palestinians and other forms of scurrying humanity.
