How does the author know the IDF is not prepared?

I suspect what they might do is plug the holes as they find them and just wait them out, because they will have to come up for air.

Wish they had enough anesthetic gas to pump the tunnels full and then safely enter wearing respirators to clean up.

Cut off their ventilation.
Use LIDAR to map out the tunnels.
Apply Thermobaric weapons GENEROUSLY.

Could work….maybe

Although it is unclear how the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will go about dealing with challenges posed by the tunnels

The article is pure speculation. I hate this type of crap. It’s news AFTER something occurs and it should be reported on then. With that said, the engineer in me can think of several ways to destroy the tunnels with minimal casualties. That begins with what the IDF has already done. They cut the power. That means no ventilation in the tunnels and it would eventually limit the time Hamas can stay in them. As for any hostages in tunnels, that’s a shame. At this point, military planners have to consider the hostages dead. I’m not from the school for negotiating with terrorists over any issue, particularly hostages. It only begets more hostage taking in the future.

I’ve heard they have a device that explodes and seals the tunnel in a tough foam.

They can seal those SOB’s in and walk away.

They need to be a ship load of expanding foam (Great Stuff tm). Fill those tunnels and let them suffocate like the rats they are.

I would be interested to see what this “city-like labyrinth” looks like.

U.S. should send Israel massive amounts of seized fentanyl, with which they could make fentanyl gas, and then deploy that into the tunnel systems

It depends on how much gas is left in Gaza. Hamas wouldn’t be able to survive in the tunnels for long without using gas for ventilation.

It’s going to be nasty bloody work. But it has to be done.

Fill full of flammable fluid then toss in a match.

Israeli soldiers could end up fighting through an 'underground nightmare' in an invasion of Gaza, home to Hamas' infamous 'metro' of tunnels

Or they could just blow up the tunnels and any Hamas terrorists in them.

We've hear this before..Iraq had the biggest battle seasoned army with the elite republican guards. The streets would run with blood.

All muzzie hyperbole

Flood the tunnels, fill them with smoke and water.
Force the rats out of the sewers.

Not necessarily...
Simply fill the tunnels with poisonous or disabling gas...
Or, better yet, napalm...
