Hamas fears that in the coming days, the gas will run out in the Gaza Strip and there will be no electricity, which will cause the ventilation systems in the tunnels dug under the enclave to shut down, a security official told Walla today (Tuesday).
When the electricity runs out, the Hamas terrorists will be forced out of the tunnels into the open air.
"According to a calculation made by the security establishment, and an analysis of the humanitarian situation in terms of supplies in general and the amount of fuel in particular in the Gaza Strip, in a short time we will see Hamas come under great pressure," said the source.
He also said that "the leaders, commanders, and activists - what interests the Hamas leadership is the fuel, not food and water. Why? Because most of its leadership and fighters are in tunnels deep underground. They need power to circulate air, operate the communication systems, and activate the rocket launchers."

Pump in bacon grease
Flood the tunnels with seawater; unlimited source next door in the Med.
In addition to driving the rats to the surface, it will ruin anything stored there and might even cause the tunnels to collapse with time.
I see a large non-lethal weapons (NLW) piece to incapacitate and rescue hostages in a tunnel environment. That will likely come from the Marine Corps since they are the Executive Agent over the DoD program.
It’s just a matter of finding the ventilation shafts.....and everything has a signature.
The IDF is turning those tunnels into graves even as people casually scan this thread. They are searching for heat signatures and evidence of activity by air, and roto-tilling the ground with high explosive tipped penetrator warheads, disrupting tunnel systems, generators, safe houses, and infrastructure, and won’t stop until nothing is left.
IDF needs to hold fast.
Whack a Mole came to mind as I read this story.
Generators make noise and have hot exhaust ports. Be pretty easy to spot by drone, given enough time.
Fill Gaza with sea water.
Most of it is well below sea level.
>> How do you pick [Hamas] out?
Black hair. Brown eyes. Found on the Gaza side of the fence.

Sniff for C02 infused with garlic reek
Didn’t the Egyptians do this to hamas smuggling tunnels. Water was good enough to “wash away the filth of Saruman..”
I suggested a nice fuel-air bomb a couple of weeks ago.
RE: They will let the hostages die when that happens.
My first thought. One of the many technothrillers I’ve read had a scene of some abandoned WWII tunnels uncovered in the 1980s with corpses of American POWS who had been tortured by the Japanese.
You don’t even need to pump it.
Most of Gaza is below sea level. Certainly the tunnels are.
Eqypt actually did this.
Just flood the whole damn area.
“Didn’t the Egyptians do this to hamas smuggling tunnels. Water was good enough to “wash away the filth of Saruman..””
Yes. And Israel started the process, but environmentalists managed to stop them in Israel’s Deep State controlled courts.
Be easy to do.
Actually a lot of Gazans have red hair.
“Send them tear gas. Pump it into every basement in the city.”
Tear gas?
You are waaay too nice.
I was thinking about gasoline.
Chlorine or Mustard gas would be good. Heavier than air, let it seep down into the tunnels.
