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.
Channel 2 said that the system was made up of sensors that could detect tunnels as they were being dug, as well as existing tunnels.

Various media reports over the years have described possible solutions as including sensors that would detect tunnels as they were being dug, massive trench digging contraptions that could create a deep protective trench around Gaza, and robots that could dig their way into tunnels and blow them up.

I saw one of the tunnels was more than 50 feet under the surface.

Drill shafts regularly, then wait for them to fill with oil.
Of, wait. Moses found the only state in the MidEast not located over an oil field .... 8<)
Fill them with salt water?
