IDF 'Tunnel Shield' May Be Deployed by 2015
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8-11-14 | Kobi Finkler, Gil Ronen

New anti-tunnel technology to be field-tested soon. Two solutions were picked out of 700 suggested. According to a senior IDF officer, the military is about to carry out comprehensive field tests of technological means for locating tunnels. The technology has already been successfully tested in laboratory conditions. If the experiment is successful, the systems will be deployed around Gaza at a cost of a billion to 1.5 billion shekels. The senior officer said that the IDF had received about 700 offers for anti-tunnel systems, and chose two. The senior officer also spoke about the Iron Dome system and confirmed that the system worked well during Operation Protective Edge. However, he warned, “we cannot rest on our laurels: in the next campaign, the terrorists will try to improve the range of the missiles, the altitude of their trajectory and the amount of missiles launched each time. Therefore, the system must constantly update itself, and we are operating accordingly.”

They should just pump pork fat into the ground at the border, nice deep injection, and then there is the method used for other destructive gophers, gas or even fuel/air bombs, those would be highly effective in eliminating pests.

IMHO they have to drill down deep and bury a large number of very cheap microphones. Then use computers to monitor for sounds originating underground.

That wouldn’t require quite as many holes, at least initially. But you have to figure that the black hats would find ways to be pretty quiet . . .

Other thing to try would be echolocation, using petrogeologic experts.

I’m sure there would be plenty of volunteers to help them create a buffer zone between palianimals and them.

Great Idea! You need some “containment structures” at the ends where the Moat meets the Mediterranean so the Salt Water Crocodiles don’t get out! And a couple of “heavy duty draw bridges” so Israel can get in their tanks if the need arises.

Actually, I thinking more along the lines of digging really deep. With the right equipment, it would be possible to dig down as far as their previous tunnels.

Can you imagine, they are digging along and ...”Hey Abdullah, this ground is getting a little soggy and there’s some water coming out of.....”

Continuous improvement. Kaizen. Sharpen the saw. Sounds good.
