It’s time for Israel to kick it up a notch...or several notches.
The IDF knew of the tunnel, but not its extent.
Throw in dry ice already.
How many Terrorist Tunnels so far?
Israel - do what you gotta do. Damn the torpedoes.
Best proof that Israel is in the right: during “peace time,” Israel isn’t digging tunnels into Gaza to launch attacks later.
The Palestinians only use cease fires to prepare their next attack.
Shhh! Don’t tell the media. They’re too busy talking about the Israeli (defensive counter) attacks on Gaza.
There is no reason for Israel to tolerate this threat against its security and its citizens’ safety, despite all the squawking from the “international community”.
Not a peep on news here in Reno area.
Standby... we're about to see.
I was listening to one Hamas sympathizer who stated that the only reason Hamas needs these tunnels is for peaceful trade.
Yes. Those mean ol’ Israeli roadblocks are cutting off the poor poor Gazans so they need tunnels to bring in asprin and baby formula.
Tunnels under a fence? No way. I’m shocked. I can’t believe anyone would attempt to go over/under/around a fence meant to keep them out. /s
Next, we’ll find out that Genghis Khan and his Mongols broke through the Great Wall! Oh, wait ...
They need to destroy a four block area at a time and when the sons of pig f’n dogs come out to parade the corpses you bomb that area into oblivion. Repeat as necessary until they’re either all gone or they stop their aggression.
I don’t think the Israelis are killing enough of the worthless palis.
Someone please explain why Israel can’t simply send a team of engineers into these tunnels, wire them with explosives and collapse the damn things.
I went to the Jerusalem Post and it was 5 Hamas terrorists that were killed?
Unlike with rockets, response to this sort of attack can’t just kick the can down the road. It has to be dealt with finally. Now. At some point I expect the Kenyan to intervene with the military to protect Hamas. The actual danger to his co-religionists in Gaza is higher now than it has been ever before.
Fill the tunnels with natural gas and torch em.
No warning , no alert,, just BOOOM!!!
Is this the same incident or additional one?

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.
Any reason they are not mining this area? That should slow down intruders.
