I know nothing, so pardon my ignorance, but isn’t there something that they could use to help them detect tunnels .... I’m thinking imaging equipment maybe used by the oil industry or something that could ‘multi-task’ for a project like this or be modified?
The Gaza tunnels went through rock in places and the Israelis found some advanced drills that were used - could ‘seismic’ monitors of some sort detect drilling?
Israel, now that they’ve seen the sophistication of Hamas’s tunnels (and those suckers were DEEP!!) is going to have to think out of the box to detect/find these things because tunnels are a huge threat & likely will continue to be.
I read just the other day that residents in the area along the Lebanese border have been saying that they hear noises underground. I suspect this is the reason that Israel is going to investigate.
I don’t see how they couldn’t drill a bunch of wells and put acoustical sensors in them. It wouldn’t cost as much as one new fighter jet.
Why bother to detect the tunnels? Maybe they should just drill 80’ holes every 50’ and fill them with high explosives and detonate them all at once and collapse anything underground.
Any tunnels they find they should pump full of untreated and odorless natural gas and then ignite the whole tunnel and blow anything above them to hell.
LARGE explosions in sunken tunnels of their own might work...
