Why don’t they drop bombs into the tunnels?
Too many tunnels, too long a length, not enough bombs, IDF will die in the hundreds if they start a battle for every inch of tunnel. Better to introduce CS (tear) gas into them first to chase out the rats....then followed by a 72 hour warning to stay out while VX, SARIN, TABUN, GB, and Ebola are pumped into the tunnels for long term NO-GO zone.
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
