My guess is that it could take a year or more to rebuild these tunnels.

Pig can snoot out underground truffles. They should be able to sniff out underground Palis pretty easily.

Odorless propane and oxygen. Pump them into the tunnels, and one spark blows up every rat.

Yes! And, I'd like to hear about odlorless propane and oxygen used in any tunnels found at our border with Mexico.

I wonder if it involves about 2 million gallons of water?

They should acquire a few of the wild hogs currently overrunning Texas and when the tunnel entrance on the Israel side is located, send in a half dozen. Seal the entrance and by the time they get to the other side, they will have multiplied to at least a hundred. Muslims might have a problem eating pork, but the hogs would not have any problem eating them.

Why not just pump CO2 into the ground?

Problem solved.

Yes to that. If these tunnels from Mexico can be closed off, there would be a lot less drugs getting through. And the sooner the better.

I can just picture that. BOOM! And dozens of terrorists pop out of the terrorist end of the tunnel heading staight for Allah.

Yes, I agree. The Israelis will not let themselves be destroyed. It's either they are always successful in all attacks, (including the use of tunnel systems) or they are gone.
