#2 Bunker-busters to blast the tunnel walls, followed by pipelines to the Med to flush the little rodents out into the open. Then kill them. Maybe we need to give Israel a few MOABs. I'm sure they'd do the trick. Photo looks like limestone.

#3 "A Palestinian security official said cordite, an explosive propellant for anti-aircraft weapons, has come through the tunnels, in one case blowing up on the buyer and killing two persons in October"

And dont think Damascus doesnt know that.

#9 Israeli fears that the militants are using the cease-fire to continue arming

#12 Cut off the electricity or put water and calcium carbide in the tunnels and light it off. Worked for gophers.
