#2 once groundwater starts to flow into a well, the well is doomed unless they can seal it

yes, you can pump it out for a time but as the flow continues it decreases the integrity of the tunnel structure

IIRC, at one time the water table was only 50 m below the surface in Gaza; overpumping has been ongoing for many years, it may be at 55m or lower by now

#6 All this should remind the world that Gaza has a common border with an arab speaking state. So much for the starvation-siege crap on al-Jazeera/al-Arabiya. Watch them on tvweb60.com (they have the "panda cam" and "gorilla cam" too)
