Hezbollah is claiming that Israel did not bomb a bunker, that it was "mosque under construction"...time to start bombing these MUCs.
Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) will do the trick.
That is one hell of a suppository.

Iraq, Iran, etc, etc. They all have stinking cities under their cities.
I think we should assume they all have gas masks. Lots of them. They had access to Iranian Oil slush funds. Might have to be a skin absorbed nerve agent unfortunately.
Let's get them proper radar so they can bomb the entire bunker network.
Whatever it was, it did wack the Israelis Special Forces.
From an American point of view, those are all fanatical Japanese willing to die for their Emperor. They have been waiting years for offensive forces to come into their field of fire.
Cant Israel somehow locate the "in" and "out" corridors to these tunnels/bunkers, and then demolish the entrances under tons of tubble.
Unless there are numerous secret entrance-ways and exits, one would think that the IDF could sort of trap the rats inside the bunkers, and then feed in poison gas or something.
Maybe I've seen too many movies, but that seems like one option that could save the precious lives of Israeli soldiers.
Morlocks that harvest eloi.
Senior Northern Command officer tells Ynet that soldiers killed in Lebanon Wednesday were part of mission aimed at uncovering 40-meter deep poured concrete bunkers along border. [emphasis: mine]That, along with reports that 1500 rockets have been launched into Israel over the course of last week, in addition to very credible assertions that the Hizzy's possess upwards of an additional 12K missiles is very very telling to me who is running the show in Lebanon.
If an AN/TPQ-37 & 43 net was implemented, along with the necessary artillery counterstrike system to be em-placed, Israel could sufficiently counterstrike at "arms length".
It is my understanding that a minimum of 15 155mm shells would be required to neutralize (30% reduction of combat effectiveness) 1 hectare (2.147 acres). If the objective was enhanced degradation of enemy capabilities beyond neutralization, then upwards of 100 shells would be required.
Given the fire rate of howitzer and cannon artillery fire-teams, I believe that would be apropos as it concerns the threat Israeli civilians face. It should be understood that the Hezzy's consider all of Israel's population to be "combatants." Well, what's good for gandering is good for goosing too, eh?
You can also assume the have women and children in the bunkers in order to have propaganda bodies. (they may even be already dead)
Surely Israel had high-altitude and satellite reconnaissance of the bunker construction. It also sounds like they have moles, since they claimed to know the location of Sheikh Nassafras or whatever his name is.
The Japanese did the same thing on various Pacific Islands, and we knocked their lights out.
A hole is a hole is a hole. And the Islamic fascists who dug them will meet the same fate as the Japanese fascists did.
Then go in and mop up the dazed survivors.
