Israel is pumping millions of gallons of seawater into the tunnels daily. I wonder how long ham-ass can hold their breath?

They have already set up pumps to flush out the tunnels with seawater. I wonder if they heard about this idea on Free Republic?
Flood the with seawater and turn them into sewers.
There is no way something that big was built without Israel knowing.
Just think if those people were dedicated to building a free and prosperous society like Israel has done. The money wasted on those tunnel networks is astounding. Gaza has no economy and produces NOTHING. All the money for these tunnels came from foreign aid that was meant for humanitarian purposes.
Cut off all aid and they would get serious about building a thriving, self-sustaining society
No, Israel is having no such strategic problems. Israel is systematically destroying the tunnels starting with the access shafts.
I can’t cite the numbers with precision but recall that so far on the order of 500 of 800 known access shafts have been closed/destroyed.
The access shafts are located within the lower story of existing buildings. ( including the homes of Hamas leadership) The building is declared Hamas and then bombed. A bull dozer then clears the dust and chunks and rebar tangle to expose the shaft. A decision is made to leave, plug with a “sponge bomb” or destroy.
There is video of “micro kamakazi drones” that make their way through the tunnel until a spot for destruction is reached. The drone then explodes the charge it is carrying and destroys the precise tunnel location selected.
Since The IDF is going to occupy Gaza for the foreseeable future, it is not necessary to spend time and resources to destroy al tunnels at present. The destruction can be undertaken in a controlled manner for years to come.
Israelis need to do what they need to do to make their enemies go away...permanantly! did ruzzia claim flooding tunnels is a “war crime”...while ruzzia INVADES UKRAINE? hasn’t the U.S. government already shown Israel that we can’t be trusted to be fully on their side ? Anthony blinken blinks is how you know something stinks. two choices...there are tunnels under our borders but WE let illegal invaders in by land,sea AND air so we as a nation are not long for this world. Israel...don’t do what WE are doing as it Will lead to the same demise that our “leaders” have planned for these United States of America.
Why bother trying to defend not destroying the tunnels? Our (and their) media already has ledes prepared telling us that today, Israel destroyed (pick a random number greater than 1,000) innocent Palestinians. So, no what actually has occurred, the lies will be the same. You know, a Palestinian can lie without their lips even moving. It’s a Muslim thing.
I suggest stuffing them full of dead pigs and Hamas members and then sealing them in concrete.
1) find access shaft.
2) fill tunnel with water
3) send in submersible drone to go down tunnel as far as it goes, and place explosives there.
4) detonate explosives. The incompressibility of water will channel the force of the explosion to blow any airlocks that have kept water from going further in.
5) if water level drops, repeat from 2.
6) if blast uncovers other access shafts, repeat from 1
I don't see a problem. I've heard the Mediterranean Sea has quite a bit of water.
open a couple tanks of acetylene in the bottom of the entrances, and run like hell. its like killing moles.
Gas them and flood them.
Flood them. Even an extensive tunnel network should not be too hard to flood in a few weeks despite any drainage. Just some really big pumps drawing water from the Med should do it. Now that may lead to collapse of some building in Gaza. Oh well. Cry me a river (or in this case a sea).
It’s interesting how the bad guys defeated satellite surveillance with something as simple as tunnels. However in the end game, a tunnel is a death trap.
Having actually worked in government underground facilities, one thing I learned is fresh air is needed and in the case of where I worked it was pumped downstairs with a fan from a huge topside air vent. If the Israelis could find these ventilation shafts they could be plugged.
Who paid for the tunnels?
You know who.
Deeper but still floodable ...
Nothing I can add that hasn’t already been posted. Gas ‘em, flood ‘em, fill ‘em with bacon fat, blow ‘em up, seed ‘em with thousands of anti-personnel mines, I don’t care. If there are Paleswineans down there, they can come up and surrender if they aren’t ready for their 72 virgins. (I’d kinda rather they didn’t, but I’m humane that way.)
