Paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
These tunnels sound as if they’re much larger than 40”, 40 inches ? Fourty inches is enough to convieniently crawl through. These sound like you can drive through some of them. Like to see some pix on how big these things are.
What the IDF should be doing and hope are, is disabling the equipment used to construct them and sinking every ship load of concrete or construction equipment use to build them comming in there.
Nope, there is technology sufficient to overcome that task. Tunnels stick out like a sore thumb when performing Harmonic resonance measurements.

There are some assumptions that Avi makes in this article that aren’t entirely clear. Would we lose hundreds of soldiers in uprooting Hamas? Why does he think that? We are starting to get to their commanders and their best forces went down in Sajaiyah and now are being defeated/killed/surrendering left and right. As to not taking over Gaza again - at least temporarily until we destroy all the tunnels - it’s not clear that this isn’t on the agenda. See: repeated Lapid and Livni statements. The only thing that might stop us is more incomprehensible pressure from the US - after all, President Obama was the one that twisted our arm and forced us to transfer to Gaza from the Nesher Cement Company 600 tons of cement - dual-use materials that in the end were used solely for building tunnels and terrorist infrastructure. Thank you Mr. President!
One of Obamas first actions as President was to write a check to Hamas for 900 million dollars,now you know who financed the building of the tunnels
Hamas’s attack tunnels are now recognized as a major danger, but Israel would have to reconquer Gaza to make sure they aren’t rebuilt, and that would cause untenable losses.
“Yeah, like national suicide is the acceptable option
