Hamas Is Waging A Tunnel War Against Israel



Israeli Military Stunned By Scale Of Hamas Tunnel War Infrastructure -- World Tribune

TEL AVIV — Israel has been shocked by the scope and methods of Hamas tunnel warfare.

In at least one case, Hamas fighters have infiltrated Israel wearing Israeli military uniforms. “This is a threat to the south,” Maj. Gen. Sami Turgeman, head of the Army’s Southern Command, said.

The Hamas attack tunnels, estimated at up to 60, have forced Israel to close areas to civilian traffic.

“The [Hamas] organization has used the period in which the Muslim Brotherhood ruled Egypt to establish a real military industry in the Gaza Strip, with advanced tooling equipment, and to smuggle a large amount of anti-tank missiles, including Kornet anti-tank missiles that were transferred to Syria before the outbreak of the civil war
there,” Israeli analyst Amir Rapaport said.

Maybe the Israelis could used satellite bases infrared technology to find the tunnels if they are not buried too deep.

Or maybe they could set off explosion and map the resultant waves with a computer like oil companies and seismologists do. But the tunnels might be too shallow.

This ahas all the same problems as sonar (with he problems of layers, boundary layers and such).

Maybe the Iraelis can test bunker busting bombs in Israelis territory next to Gaza. Maybe bust a tunnel while mapping others at the same time.

Last maybe they could do some sort of affinity analysis.
