Despite calls for a new cease-fire, fighting intensified in Gaza on Monday and Tuesday morning, with Palestinians saying more than two dozen people died as rockets or mortars struck a refugee camp, a hospital and the center of Gaza City.

You mean hundreds of bunker busters, don't you?

Way too expensive a way of killing rats in sewers. Too many buildings above the tunnels. The tunnels need to be cleared of terrorists & weapons, then systematically destroyed, even if you use the BBs.

If Israel could gas the tunnels, then do extensive recon, I'll bet they come up with a wealth of intelligence; enough to destroy Hamas & much of the regional terrorist networks.

Naturally, Israel wont use a WMD, even on tunnel scum, so the Israeli tunnel rats are gonna have a tough time.

The best way to deal with subterranian engineered structures is with low yield nuclear weapons:

Absolute SAFEST way to destroy underground structures with almost ZERO surface radiation (plus you create a nice, deep, nuclear-engineered ditch.

Just look at the photos from Nevada. If they were all in a line, it would be a perfect, man made barrier:

The Isreaelis have all that they need: 1) CAUSE, 2) Nuclear weapons, 3) A buffer to limit civilian casualties, 4) An urgent need to collapse the tunnels and create at PERMANENT no-mans land. 5) Finally, it shows the world that Israel has the resolve and dedication to use every tool in its arsenal, and sends a message to the rest of the Mud-slime world that they are NOT afraid to use nuclear weapons (albiet, in a scientific, nuclear-engineering sense):

“Are there any old tunnel rats out here on FR?”

Yes.
I saw pictures of Gaza tunnels. They were huge...large enough for big trucks could drive through them.... made of concrete, much like vehicular tunnels in the U.S.
Much grander than anything I saw in RVN

In what was known as I Corps, which was the northern most and mountainous section of South Viet Nam, most of the tunnels were primative and very small, 3 to 4 feet wide and 5, maybe 6 feet high, at most. Ceiling and walls were lined with wood. Nearly all of the tunnels were zig-zag’d every 10 or 20 feet. There were always escape hatches here and there in the roof. We would look for those hatches before entering a tunnel and pop a couple of smoke grenades down to see there the smoke showed itself. Crawling on your belly, in the dark, no helmet/no flack jacket, with just a .45 looking for bad guys creates a helluva rush.

I know they couldn’t, but I am sure we have something for this. If the scum set off a nuke the media would say it was Israel anyway.

The Palis would turn them into nursery schools in a heartbeat.

“Those people living there have freely ALLOWED and ENCOURAGED Hamas to operate freely within their communities and now they dare to to blame everyone and everything except themselves for what they are facing today?”

An excellent observation, DH. Palestinian brutes will allow the murder of their children in order to advance the Nazi/Hamas cause. It should also be noted that our Orwellian pig media here in the US is aiding the Hamas animals.
