Taken in for questioning? Let me guess: 1) Is it very dark down there? 2) Is it hot? 3) Where do you go to the bathroom? 4) What were you going to do with the machine guns and hand grenades when you entered Israel? IDF: just pick them off as they leave the tunnel, then flood the tunnel with natural gas and ignite it. You're wasting time and effort.

They fancy themselves heroic warriors, but Hamas terrorists do not hold up very well under interrogation. Cowards never do. And the best part?

After that, Hamas terrorists are trash. They get thrown away, like all trash.
