The Israel Defense Forces have found a way to block the tunnels Palestinians dig under the Gaza-Egypt border to smuggle in weapons by using a huge trench-digging machine, according to a military publication.
The 100-ton behemoth would dig deep channels along the border route Israel patrols, exposing the tunnels, the soldiers' weekly "Bamahane" reports in its current edition.
The new trenching machine, made U.S. company Trencor Inc., might provide at least an interim answer to the smuggling problem by neutralizing tunnels now in operation.

Wish they could invent a stealth version so they wouldn't hear it a commin. Might catch one or two in the act.

Neat picture -- my husband has one of those, on a smaller scale, of course. It only goes down about 18 inches.
Great idea, this trencher. I wonder what the Palestinian line will be -- can't wait for that one.
