GAZA CITY — Even as Israeli forces pushed deeper into the Gaza Strip, unleashing intense artillery fire as they moved to demolish militants’ tunnels into Israel, several Hamas fighters slipped through one of the passages on Saturday and killed two Israeli soldiers on patrol before being driven back, the Israeli military said.
The infiltration, the second in three days, was the latest indication that the tunnel network from Gaza into Israel is far more extensive than previously publicly known. The attack seemed to send a message that Hamas was undeterred in its efforts to launch assaults on Israel, and it could spur a new escalation: Israel cited an earlier infiltration on Thursday as the immediate catalyst for its ground invasion of Gaza.
The military said the infiltrators on Saturday had planned “a lethal attack” in a nearby community, but did not name the town. Hamas media also reported that fighters had “crossed enemy lines” and engaged Israeli forces....

Hamas fighters? It’s Hamas Terrorists, they wear no uniform.
Clear the tunnels the same way you get rid of moles - pump gas in the tunnels. Even if it is only tear gas. (What? You thought I was going to suggest sarin or mustard gas?)
Of course, somebody would holler that is unfair under the Geneva Rules, and bring a huge human rights violation against the Israelis.
The Muzz slithering like rats in their tunnels. The analogy is perfect.
Here’s a running account of news reports related to these recent events with Israel and Hamas. If you want to catch up on the news accounts ... they are here ...

It’s listed from newest to oldest, so go to the bottom to start.
Propane
no,105 octane.
Agree 100%.
Along with the gas you can put in industrial smoke bombs and put high volume fans to push it into the tunnels then watch where it comes out. Or a type of gas that can only be seen with special goggles or cameras.
I looked, but I couldn’t tell what it was that I was seeing ...
The left considers these Hamas terrorists “Freedom fighters” the left would go fight shoulder to shoulder with Hamas if they could..God Bless these brave soldiers..my heart breaks every time I hear that one has died..these tunnels must be destroyed, every single one of them
Occupy all of Gaza and exterminate the Hamas vermin one by one.
Until then, they will not for the simple reason that is would be suicidal given the proximity of their enemies.
The gaza terrorist cesspool needs to be eliminated once and for all. These scum have proven over and over again their (absolutely satanic) murderous intentions.
When Golda Meier was Prime Minister and Israel was thrown back on their heels initially (Yom Kippur War), it looked like the Syrians were going to break through with their tanks, coming down from the Golan Heights. Since it looked like it was DEFINITELY going to happen, and Israel would be LOST as a result, Golda Meier gave the order to pull out the nuclear weapons and use them on the capital cities of the attacking countries. Israel got them out and ready to use on the ARAB countries, at the point “all was lost”.
HOWEVER, as it turned out, one reservist in a tank held off the column of Syrian tanks coming down from the Golan Heights, which was a total miracle in and of itself and should have been IMPOSSIBLE for that one tank to do. He held them off long enough for the other reserves to get there, and then they turned the tide against the Syrians.
With that, and the country “not lost” at that point, Israel put away their nuclear weapons.
NOW ... if I remember the story right, that one reservist was in the shower when he had to run for his tank. He didn’t even bother getting his clothes on, but ran out NAKED to his tank and headed straight for the Syrian column of tanks and fought them while he was naked in the tank ... LOL ...
The bearded savages have been putting in a tremendous amount of time and energy building those tunnels. If they had spent the same amount working hard and studying something other than their violent handbook they might amount to something in the world.
