June 24 (UPI) -- The Israeli military has surrounded an underground base in southern Lebanon in which dozens of Hezbollah militants are trapped, Israeli officials said.

The base is located under the village of Tebnit, in an area where fighting taken place despite an Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire, The New York Times reported. The standoff, if it escalates, could disrupt ongoing peace negotiations between the United States, which backs Israel, and Iran, which backs Hezbollah.

Israeli officials said the trapped militants were running out of supplies. On Tuesday, Israeli troops killed at least two people in the area. Israel said those targeted were Hezbollah operatives, while Hezbollah said they were civilians.

The underground base is beneath the Ali al-Taher ridge, not far from the border with Israel and a strategic point. Israeli officials said Hezbollah built the complex of tunnels over 20 years with Iran's help.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Pump a couple of thousand gallons of diesel into each of them, then light it.

I was going to suggest oxygen and propane and pop them out of their holes like flaming gophers.

Fill the tunnels with sewage. Let them drown with their own sort of filth.

Israel has some heavy D9 armored bulldozers, If the tunnels aren’t too deep, they can get on top of them and squirm around and cave them in.

They will be okay.
As long as the “underground complex” has a Walmart.

No worries.

Anhydrous Ammonia liquid would work. It is a particularly brutal death and will seep into their entire underground bolt hole and kill them.

Diesel is too valuable to waste. Drill some holes in the surface to the complex. Install porta-potties over them, let the Israeli military piss down the holes. Heck, let all the nearby residents do the same.

VX gas. 9 times heavier than air. Very difficult to disperse.

Gad masks don’t work. Skin contact alone will kill.

Just pump it full.

Time to stop playing.

Get some tanks of nitrogen and release it down the shaft. They will expire quietly and you can send in soldiers with breathing apparatus to retrieve computers and manuals and things like that.
