Gaza men keep their concubines in the tunnels.

"Gaza is riddled with tunnels. Some are for smuggling; others are for transporting weapons; others are for hiding or ambushing Israeli troops. The crucial passageways—400 to 600, by recent estimates—run from Gaza to Egypt, circumventing the closed border. That's how Hamas gets parts and material for the missiles it fires into Israel. Any deal to end the current fighting has to include "an effective blockading" of that border, "with supervision and follow-ups," according to Israel's prime minister. To stop the war—and to keep it stopped—you have to figure out how to stop the tunnels.
But how? Here are some of the options..."

Give Will Saletan credit here, he did some honest-to-gosh researching and interviewing (a rare thing these days). When MSM "journalists" and "pundits" deign do actual, shoe-leather reporting, even they aren't half bad.
Stuff them full of pig guts, problem solved.
Gaza men keep their concubines in the tunnels.
That doesn’t look like a goat to me.
One of those foreign mail order brides.
Plug each end with a few truckloads of concrete.
Easy. Sand worms.
All of the above. Plus hungry pigs.
I don’t know why Bombing (#9) isn’t the no-brainer. It’s quick, it’s good practice for the pilots, and every time they bomb an area, it makes it that much harder to tunnel below the ever-deeper craters.
A ditch without polluting salt water would not only force the tunnels to be deeper than the ditch but would also be the perfect place to place sensors that would force the tunnels much deeper than that.
Random detonations in the ditch at random times and locations would make life interesting for the Hamas tunnel rats.
Run hose pipes down into the tunnels and inject them from a flamethrower. This will draw out the oxygen and discourage repeat smugglers.
And here I thought the Hamastinians were building a subway system.

HONK!!! Sorry, wrong answer.
Okay, how about filling them with Black Death Fleas.
Whoever came up with these ideas certainly did not have much common sense or knowledge of what goes on in the world. No wonder they are so many tunnels in operation.
The super simple solution is to come here to Texas and rent mechanical seismograph trucks (stompers) and simply drive them around the border doing their stomping all day long. Believe me, no tunnels would survive.
Since the oil field slowdown here, there would be a bunch available.
How’s that for a idea......and it’s cheap!
Perhaps notevery possibilty!!! Liquify the dirt and let the tunnels collapse. Seismically map the underground at the same time.
