Very creative, but the Israeli end would have to be adequately plugged ---- 50 feet of collapsed tunnel? 100?
They’re not stupid.
They’re evil.
They think you’re stupid.
Big Media is full of idiots that believe them.
Won't work, Israelis still need to find the tunnels, many of which they weren't aware of prior to going into Gaza. I think the best approach is a stronger presence in Gaza, frequent clean-up visits to find tunnels at the Gaza side with permanent destruction of buildings where they're found. Find a tunnel, then that Gaza patch of land is off-limits forever as a warning.
Is this the same incident or additional one?

Four IDF soldiers killed in mortar shell attack near Gaza border 1 OF 5

Private First Class Meidan Maymon Biton, 20 of Netivot.
On a day that began with another attempt at a humanitarian cease-fire, four IDF soldiers were killed on the Gaza border by a Hamas mortar attack and another soldier was killed in a separate battle, the army announced Monday evening.
It named St.-Sgt. Moshe Davino, 20, from Jerusalem as the soldier killed in battle. Davino, a Givati infantry soldier, was killed when a terrorist cell fired an anti-tank missile at a D-9 armored bulldozer he was in, on Monday afternoon. Soldiers identified eight terrorists in a nearby home that fired the missile, and used a second D-9 bulldozer to demolish it, killing all eight attackers inside.
Davino was posthumously promoted.
The four soldiers killed by the mortar belonged to the 7th Armored Brigade. They had been in a staging area in the Eshkol region when they were killed. The mortar attack represented the deadliest incident of cross-border shelling from Gaza since the beginning of the IDF’s operation to suppress Hamas rocket fire and tunnel attacks on southern regions.
The IDF released the names of four soldiers late Monday night who were posthumously promoted.
Pumping sewage into the tunnels.
Sounds like a great idea and environmentally friendly. No fossil fuels used.

The Egyptian military is resorting to a pungent new tactic to shut down the smuggling tunnels connecting Sinai and Gaza: flooding them with sewage
Along with the stink, the approach is raising new questions about relations between Egypt’s new Islamist leaders and their ideological allies in Hamas who control the Gaza Strip.
“Awful,” said Abu Mutair Shalouf, 35, a Palestinian smuggler on the Gaza side, watching workers haul buckets of sewage-soaked soil from the shaft of a tunnel flooded by the Egyptian military 15 days ago. “I don’t know why they did this.”
Advisers to the Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political arm, say the answer is simple: they are determined to shut the tunnels to block the destabilizing flow of weapons and militants into Sinai from Gaza — a vow Mr. Morsi made with evident passion in an interview five months ago
What does dry ice do?
Any reason they are not mining this area? That should slow down intruders.
I thought Morsi was in jail?
Great Idea!
