 Gaza – Ma’an – Egyptian security forces destroyed eight tunnels under the border between Egypt and Gaza on Tuesday morning. Eyewitnesses in Rafah said the explosions were heard across the district. The eight tunnels were located between the Salah Addin Gate and As-Salam neighborhood in Rafah city. No injuries or deaths have been reported by Egyptian or Palestinian officials. According to Egypt, security services warned Egyptian-Rafah residents before the tunnels were destroyed. |

| #4 Fill any tunnel found with a mixture of concrete and barbed wire, after flushing it with pure chlorine (disinfectant, yeah, that's what it's used for... disinfectant). Eventually the entire border area will be a series of concrete-filled tubes. That'll make a great ballast for a thick, high, razor-wire-encrusted wall. Eventually the paleos will get the message that the rest of the world has nothing but contempt for people who revel in killing women and small children. |

| #3 Couldn't the Egyptians just get Israeli agreement on turning a strip of land on the border into an artillery / bomb range for the Egyptian Military? I can't imagine that those tunnels would stand up very well to an Arty barrage over head. Either that or make it a canal. |

| #1 After a certain point, there should be few places left where the ground will be stable enough for tunnels. One could hope... |
