It has been cleared for publication that the IDF recently discovered a terror tunnel from Gaza into southern Israel, marking the first such discovery since 2014's Operation Protective Edge.
The tunnel was a particularly large and complex one; its route stretched along the eastern sector of the Gaza Strip all the way to southern Gaza, and crossed onto the Israeli side. At some points it reached as much as 30 meters in depth.

After being discovered, IDF forces quickly mobilized to secure and neutralize it - though precisely how is under a gag order, as is the tunnel's exact route.
A senior defense official told Arutz Sheva that the IDF's number one priority over the past year has been to locate such terror tunnels, which Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups in Gaza have been busily rebuilding since the 2014 war. Israel has repeatedly protested Hamas's use of international aid - particularly building materials - to rebuild its tunnel capabilities, while preventing the aid from reaching civilians in Gaza.
Palestinian media had been reporting intense IDF activity, including heavy digging equipment, along the border with Gaza for the past several days.
The military source added that Israeli operations against the tunnels were being aided by revolutionary advanced technology, though he did not elaborate.

Drop in dry ice and seal the exit, so the terrorists
die and do not know why.
Do what the Egyptians do, flood them.
Unfortunately that is number 1000 tunnels. Giving their enemies Gaza was a foolish mistake.
I’d fill them with oil and light them up. Make them scared of going into a tunnel.
Look on the bright side. The money we send over for them to build schools is being used to build tunnels and using kids to build them. This gives the kids a bright future in coal mining. Whoops, they are closing the coal mines.
They have a lot of energy to build tunnels. Too bad they can’t use their energy for useful, constructive things instead of to kill Jews.
I like the idea of the snipers/claymores, but I think firing the hole would do one extra step for ‘free’: It would showcase the other ‘rat holes’ that are inside the perimeter, as the fire/smoke would waffle up any openings along the full route.
Just make sure the fire patrol doesn’t let it spread BEYOND...
I don’t know, using a heavier than air unbreathable gas and sealing both ends with concrete works for me, too.
Drop large smoke bombs in the Israeli end, seal the tunnel and pressurize from the Israeli end . When the red smoke comes out in the gaza strip, bomb the sh*t out of whatever building is used at the Gaza end, and yes that includes UN buildings used by the terrorists.
Oh, they must be mistaken! Are they sure it’s not a tunnel from Israel into Gaza? < /sarc >
Greenhouse gasses. How fitting.
After catching as many of them on their way to do bad as you can.
Yeah. Those evil soldiers were looking to dig into a hospital, where a stabber whom they had shot was lying a quadraplegic, and kill him just for spite, and his mangy little dog, too.
They’re pressuring farmers to stop all that growing stuff and concentrate on more important things.

I agree....flood the tunnel.
~~~~~~~~~~
My preference would be to pump in as much explosive fuel-air mixture as possible, then light'er up.
Done properly, there probably would not be much question remaining as to the tunnel's location and route...
