Ground-penetrating radar? Gravimetry? Temperature differences at dawn or dusk?

Hire the men of Gaza to build the high speed rail tunnels for California’s $800 billion boondoggle. Give them jobs doing something besides hating jews and swallowing amphetamines.

Just turn a few thousand Pigs loose in the tunnels system in Gaza.

I think they can find the entrance from IR viewing. If the entrance is in a building maybe not.

If tunnels are located they can be destroyed. The Russians hit a facility in Ukraine command post 400 meters below the ground.

It is quite likely Israel has the same types of bombs/missiles as does Russia.

I’m not buying a bomb/missile burrowing 1,200’ underground.

Breed feral hogs.

Those things are vicious and will suicide attack anything that threatens, like bears, or wolves, or Muslims.

Was that 400-meter-deep destroyed command center this one?

Exactly.

Initiate Operation Feral Cowboy: have a C-130 transport parked in a field that is known feral hog area, leave a trail of corn into the transport. When the plane is filled, fly Porky and Co. to Israel and offload them in the tunnels and watch the fun....

(If nothing else, this little exercise will make the Israelis laugh and will drive the muzzies absolutely insane.)

I did not come up with this idea; another poster did but it was so hilarious it seemed only proper to share it with others.

Hamas will not get to spend years using tunnels in Gasa like some forgotten Japanese after the armies moved on... Israel will hunt them like they hunted the NAZIs to the ends of the earth for decades. This is an example of a political opposition officer who opposes Bibi Netanyahu... that general never could have had the courage to rescue the Isreali hostages at Entbe. At least Bibi and his brother lived their Nation and risked their lives onlybto be opposed bemy Jewish politicians and American Democrats who never once served in the military or understood warfare.

Tunnels are not only useful for attacks. They could also use them to move the hostages away from the reach of the IDF.

Looks like to me that Israel needs to build a POW camp in the Negev Desert and capture every man who's of military age in Gaza.

Then it's possible to rehabilitate the remaining women and children in Gaza but ultimately, they'll have to move elsewhere as refugees.

Nobody has the stomach to end the Hamas insurgency.

The Palestinian populace has to be made to fear the IDF more than Hamas.
That’s the only way. Anything and anyone that delays or prevents the complete destruction of Hamas is an enemy.

They should be treated like enemies in the most brutal and public manner. No exemptions and in any locale.

Also read about the Tunnels of Cu Chi re the VC/NVA in northern So. Vietnam. Scores of years of preparation, just like in Iwo.

A nuclear one will go close to that depth, but no way a non nuclear one will go even close to that depth:

Using the 1.2 megaton B83 warhead—the highest yield weapon in the U.S. nuclear stockpile—could crush underground bunkers to a depth of about 1000 feet.
