Hamas fears that in the coming days, the gas will run out in the Gaza Strip and there will be no electricity, which will cause the ventilation systems in the tunnels dug under the enclave to shut down, a security official told Walla today (Tuesday).
When the electricity runs out, the Hamas terrorists will be forced out of the tunnels into the open air.
"According to a calculation made by the security establishment, and an analysis of the humanitarian situation in terms of supplies in general and the amount of fuel in particular in the Gaza Strip, in a short time we will see Hamas come under great pressure," said the source.
He also said that "the leaders, commanders, and activists - what interests the Hamas leadership is the fuel, not food and water. Why? Because most of its leadership and fighters are in tunnels deep underground. They need power to circulate air, operate the communication systems, and activate the rocket launchers."

Israel is not the only source that supplies electricity to the Gaza Strip.
Fill a pen full of dead rotting pigs. Collect and pump the odor into the tunnels.
Where do they think the fuel in Gaza has gone? Hospital Generators?
Using it up, not getting any new fuel. Hospital generators? Probably siphoned it off for the terror tunnels.
48,000 Watts
The last generators running will be Hamas’.
They’ll be easy to spot at night.
You state, “Or pump in an overkill amount of aerosol vomiting agent into any found tunnel...” I believe that is what the ‘Tunnel Rats’ did to eliminate tunneling in III Corps near Saigon.
Of course they are doing so. If they weren't it would be military mal-practice.
I've spent a few minutes watching live video from Gaza with audio. When I hear the jets that usually means bunkerbusters are coming up shortly.
The detonation of a bunkerbuster has a particular visual signature. Sort of like you see from an explosion inside a tunnel. And the sound is more thump than boom.
I’m in Nahariya, which is 12 klicks from the Lebanese border as the crow flies, much longer if you’re driving down twisty mountain roads. Nearby town and site of ancient Roman-built aqueduct tunnel just to the North of us by a few klicks and on top of a mountain is Rosh Hanikrah, which was evacuated and a missile battery put in place. I regularly hear the launches from there, which sound like a bang. But today I was hearing those thumping noises, which if it’s bunkerbusters would be coming from tunnels on the Lebanon side of the border, unless they found the openings on the Israeli side. Don’t see anything visual, because we’re down in a valley, and they’re firing from high ground, and Lebanon is way over thataway, after Tzefat and then the Golan.
I was being sarcastic.
I am sure the tunnels will be fine.
You have to pump it over the seawalls and barriers to start, but I’m also assuming that Hamas might have read everyone’s field manuals and is including grenade sumps, mantraps and other features that might keep low pressure water out. Pump it in at high pressure and watch for geysers to figure out where all the entrances were. Makes it easier to track down supporters that might have fled and give them ‘special’ attention.
I’ve suggested that as well. But, it is a big project. Hamas has been building those tunnels for decades. I wonder what their total volume is?
Absolutely. Pump it into air intakes, flood the generators, do airdrops from helicopters and planes onto suspected entrance locations. Repeat until the ground is a soggy mess and sinkholes collapse the tunnels.
It would require a lot more water than could practically be air-dropped, even with the sea so nearby.
.....and keep pumping, until the buildings above start to.sink into the mud..
Exactly - seawater is cheap, it’s nearby, it’s relatively safe to handle for friendly troops, a containment failure isn’t going to be a real issue since the sea is right there, etc.
Yup. The Palis said they wanted water - let’s give it to them!
