Israeli TV reporter unveils military plan to destroy Gaza tunnels
2008-12-20
Bethlehem /Jerusalem – Ma’an - Israeli TV unveiled new engineering techniques that will allow troops to destroy the extensive tunnel network snaking beneath the Gaza-Egypt border. According to a recently filmed report Israeli soldiers have completed 16 months of special drills and plan to destroy over 600 tunnels. The Israeli army has detailed information about the tunnels including the differences between those used for smuggling food, weapons, and individuals.

The special battalion of Israeli soldiers preparing for the mission has been named Yalhum, or “Jewel” in English, and are expected to begin a campaign to assert Israeli control over the tunnels as the truce between Israel and Gaza ends.

Ameer, an Israeli military officer commented on the mission saying “the enemy is improving its abilities. We decided to surprise them by showing our new abilities.” Matan, another officer admitted that “the new war will be a war of minds. Israel shall show its intelligence in this field.”

#1  I really would wish they had held off on revealing this until a few (maybe more) tunnels had been dealt with. Psych is nice, surprise is better.
