Despite overwhelming military superiority, Israel is struggling to develop an effective strategy to tackle the tunnel network under Gaza.
This "underworld" has provided Hamas with a degree of sanctuary beyond the gaze of satellites, drones and military forces.
How will Israel defeat Hamas without destroying the tunnel network?
The "Gaza metro" is bigger in scale than the London Underground network. Many of the tunnels were originally dug in the early 1980s to bypass the border between Egypt and Rafah, enabling the illegal smuggling of trade and weapons.
However, they have since been expanded into two further categories: defensive and offensive.
The former is primarily focused on the storage of weapons, logistic supplies (fuel, water and food) and command and control HQs, whereas the latter is an elaborate network of tunnels across the border into Israel to enable Hamas to take small-scale offensive action, and crucially to seize hostages.
Since assuming control of Gaza in 2006, Hamas has taken the development of the tunnel network to a new level.
The soft sandstone under Gaza is conducive to tunnelling, but Hamas has also adapted the network in response to Israel's various attempts to destroy it.
Bunker buster bombs could penetrate deep underground - and if they did not destroy a tunnel directly, the shifting sands would cause nearby tunnels to implode.
By digging the tunnels deeper - the main network is now over 20m (65ft) down rather than around 10m (32ft) for the original tunnels - Hamas made them far more difficult to target and destroy.

Good luck and good hunting to IDF!
Blast several trenches tunnels to Med..
WATER definitely responds to GRAVITY
DON’T CARE
Some of the wild hogs I see on TV should be interesting.
I like your 6 step program.
Indeed…
What to do?
Spill a few barrels of gas in them. Plug up the Israeli end with loads of dirt. Spark.
The entire length of the tunnel will blow and collapse. The house where it comes to the surface will be a little volcano for a few minutes.
If Israel forces will not leave Gaza until Hamas is eliminated then it has all the time it needs to search out and destroy the tunnel infrastructure.
Bring me that really big pump and hold my beer!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One pump...18,000 gallons per minute.
You may not care, but the IDF is forced to withdraw from the area ...
Will this affect the water table in any way? As in contaminating fresh water sources.
Just fill the tunnels with explosives and implode the tunnels
Trumps plan hasn’t gotten much press but I recall it proposed land swaps, tunnel between Gaza and West Bank, and a high tech innovation center for them to develop their economy.
Anti Israeli media, like Sky News, is running these kind of stories to compare hamas nazi tunnels with the London tube system for one reason. To create the impression the ‘innocent’ fakeitstinians are using the tunnels to protect themselves from the nasty Israeli blitz. A co-ordinated propaganda approach with the Mongoloid in Moscow to try and save their hamas buddies
Like anyone should care. The U.N. and outsiders forced Israel into supplying fresh water to Gaza. Israel scientists learned how to convert a desert into a thriving ecosystem and recaptured moisture via moisture farms and desalinization equipment. Where they once thirsted for water, they now provide excess water to Gaza. Even if the Gaza water table is affected, it was contaminated long ago by Hamas tunneling efforts. I say to keep the pumps going until Gaza is a muddy mess.
destroy the tunnels, that’s what the IDF is doing.
destroy them and all the bloodthirsty Fakestinian terrorist murder gangsters with them.
that’s as clear as it be
I have only one question:
I wonder what the water table level is in Gaza?
That is a worse plot than a spider’s web made while it was on LSD!
