Hamas is digging 10 kilometers (six miles) of tunnel each month toward Israel, a senior security official told Channel 2 on Wednesday. Construction continues despite several tunnel collapses in recent months.
A senior diplomatic source went on to say that Israel has no perfect solution to the tunnel problem, and neither does any other country.
The news comes amid controversy regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's readiness to combat the tunnel issue. Netanyahu pushed back on Monday against claims that his government was unprepared for the threat of cross-border tunnel raids from Gaza in the lead-up to the 2014 war, saying that they are “the opposite of the truth.”

Spray the tunnels with pig fat.

Even better.

Good Idea except that the salt water would contaminate the little fresh water reservoirs Israel has.
Israel has very little underground fresh water to spare. Most of their water comes from desalinization and the Golan.
One wonders, where their waste water goes?
Years ago, my understanding was they did some treatment, then used it in agriculture. I may be wrong?

The recently imported concrete being put to use. That many more tunnels to destroy. Maybe the Gaza technicians can find employment in Mexico if the opportunities in Gaza dry up.
