#1 Why go after them? Run a hose from the tailpipe of the nearest vehicle into the tunnel. Idle said vehicle for several hours. Don SCBA, climb in and remove terrorist gophers. Alterately run a hose from a propane tank ....

#8 Fill the tunnel with a propane/oxygen mix and light a match.

#9 I'll agree with the propane. Shiat's nasty, and kind of clings to you as it burns.

#10 Why be so nice about perserving the tunnels while destroying the vermin inside? A few well placed explosives will get rid of both. Half the work, twice the fun.

#11 "Fire in the hole!!!!!!" does have a certain ring to it ...

#12 Can't they just plug up the holes with cement? Like a whole cement mixer's worth per entrance?

Y'know, to Protect the Children ^TM, so they don't get hurt playin' in them, and the puppies, kittens and baby ducks don't get hangnails.

#13 Carbon monoxide would probably be interpreted as a poison gas attack by the international media, and we'd never hear the end of it. Propane & a match, on the other hand, would probably fly with everybody except the "oooh! napalm is satanic!" fringe crowd.

No, I'm not saying that's a rational outcome - dead's dead, and burning to death's worse than keeling over quietly from CO poisoning - but I'm pretty sure that's the war crime algebra of the two hypotheses.

Well, that & I'm pretty sure neither would be all that effective in sandy soils.

#15 Nice picture from The Great Escape. I might just have to go out and rent it again.

#16 Just need dwarf protitutes. That will keep them busy, or out of the tunnels.

#21 How about just pumping colored smoke in and seeing where it comes out.....and what comes out with it.

#23 Bangalore torpedos, pushed in as far as they'll go, then ignited. Look for where the smoke comes out. Follow up with the sewage, for proper HAMASS burial.

#24 A tunnel crawling bot would be nice would be nice, rigged with a camera and an explosive charge.

Take a look-see what's down there before you blow it.

#25 Wasn't there a report about a Gaza sewage plant with problems just a few weeks ago. Perhaps said sewage could be stored underground in these tunnels.

#26 Last I heard they were running fuel lines through some of them. Find some of those and watch the fun...
