What happened to the original idea to FLOOD TUNNELS???

So does this mean that elements in the Egyptian military are turning a blind eye to these tunnels?

If so, not good.

That would make it easy to transfer refugees from Rafah to tent camps in the Sinai like they do everywhere else in the world. We give them $1.3 billion, we could boost it a little.

First of all, the Israelis did flood some of the tunnels west of Gaza city. Close to the sea. Gaza is seven miles wide at the southern end where Rafah is. That is a lot of piping.

It would be like saying we are going to flood all the subway tunnels in Manhattan. It would require hundreds of millions of gallons of water. Except Gaza is not solid rock like parts of Manhattan is. The water would eventually just go down into the sand.

It is easier to plug the tunnels with the foam bombs. Similar to the foam insulation you buy in a can at the Home Centers. It expands and fills up the entrance to the tunnel. Blocking the entrance to the tunnel with a 30’ long plug.

There was also a lot of intelligence materials in the tunnels. Flood them and its all destroyed.

Israel is concerned it may take draining the entire Mediterranean Sea
to flood the entire rat tunnel system.

Flood the tunnels with cement.
