one of the last reports was of tanks, israel.. so maybe they took it off?

When we had our old lava flow lot cleared, ripped and rolled with a D-9 Cat years ago, I got to know something about the hazards that the driver might have to deal with in the process. Lava tubes.

The machine starts to shake and the tread on one side starts to sink.....then it's hard right or left to get out of there or get another D-9 to pull you out. That's 50 tons on rock.

Gaza Strip region has a substratum of Tertiary limestones, calcareous sandstone marls, clay and marine diluvium. Partially fossilised dune sand deposits cover wide stretches of land. These dune sands are often cemented by calcareous sediments and cemented infiltration, and form therefore com-pact masses of hard rocks.

I suspect the IDF has this knowledge and doubt that Hamas has the tunneling technology or means to tunnel at bedrock levels....which ain't that deep; 2-3 meters.

Rumbling along....singing a song.....slide by slide.
