After this exercise is over, every tunnel in GAZA will be destroyed.
It would be more effective to send faucie there to vaccinate hamas
Filling the tunnels with raw sewage works for me.
On a serious note however, I believe the released hostages have stated they were held in the tunnels.
Fixed it.
I met a young guy from Israel that was studying mining. He said when he was in the IDF he was in a group that located and destroyed tunnels. One of the things they did was use sewage tankers to fill them before they blocked the tunnels. I think that was just out of spite rather than accomplishing anything though.
Israel would have to write off the hostages first. In a harsh cost benefit analysis, Israel would have to calculate the number of deaths and casualties the rescuers would take exceeds the benefit of how many hostages could be saved saved. No doubt many hostages would be killed in a rescue attempt.
Send Eric swallwell with beans and brats for hamas and himself (being the compassionate humanitarian) and have swallwell gas em out.
Recall how Bin Ladin’s “fortress” at Tora Bora was much overrated. Wonder if it is the same for the “300 miles of tunnels?”
And quit sending them money to build more tunnels.
The total idiocy of it all. Allowing a population with a hostile indoctrination system for its youth to operate inside the country’s borders.
Of course, I could be referring to the USA.
Might be easier to find an opening, lower in big speakers, and play either the baby-shark song, or that cars for kids commercial, over and over.
“That solution is to flood the tunnels with seawater from the adjacent Mediterranean.”
Or build a pipeline from the major Israeli cities and flood the tunnels with raw sewage.
“Egypt flooded thirty-seven cross-border tunnels in southern Gaza back in 2015”
I was not aware of this. So, just eight years ago Egypt did this to stop smuggling back and forth into and out of their country.
So a predominantly Arab country did this to the Palestinians?
How is it that I have never heard about this until now?
I always thought city sewage would work. And render then unusable and toxic for quite some time afterwards
I love it!
The Gaza tunnels have been a huge problem for 20 years.
Reasonably confidant that they have come up with some innovative solutions to deal with the tunnel problems without having to resort to going in and engaging in tunnel CQB which is suicide.
The tunnel strategy only works for Hamas as long as they have complete control of above ground in Gaza.
The Izzys are changing the rules of the game by taking control of the above ground areas of the tunnels.
Once Hamas has lost control of the surface and freedom to operate above ground, tunnels are very unpleasant and dangerous place to be.
It is also very dangerous and unpleasant to be in tunnels in the South of Gaza after the Israelis have control of the what is left of the tunnel systems in the North.
The media and the talking heads on TV have been trying to persuade the public that the Hamas tunnels are Israels biggest threat and Hamas’s biggest asset.
IMHO, the tunnels are going end up being Hamas’s biggest liability and probably their ultimate downfall.
One big advantage for the Israelis is the fact that the tunnels are an unambiguously military target and they can be deal with in relative secrecy and in a way that the media has no way of covering. They will destroy the tunnels in detail at their leisure once they have sufficient control of the surface.
The reality is that Israel is almost certainly going to in de facto control of Gaza for some length of time at the end of the operation in any settlement to ensure the complete de militarization of the Hamas/Iran built infrastructure, including the tunnels. p>
Someone’s tipping a hat to Gears of War, in which the remaining military of the Coalition of Ordered Governments (the COG) flooded the Locust out of their endless tunnels after more than a decade of war and near-extinction of Humans.
That’s exactly where my brain went here.
