If it takes two weeks, so be it. Unless this tunnel situation is allowed to continue more Israeli citizens are in harms way. This time the mission must be accomplished. The world will condemn Israel's no matter what. The hell with them. Finish the job.

If you are an empty tunnel, or an empty building, beware: the IDF has you in their sights! Do not attempt to flee, any resistance is useless. Of course we'll continue to mollycoddle any Arabs in Aza.

Tunnels fall down go BOOM!!

The IDF engineers should create a channel to lead water into these tunnels and by the natural flow of gravity the water will find it's way to all diversionary tunnels and fill up thereby forcing the terrorists to evacuate or by self choice drown.

Is not there some kind of X-ray to Indicate what's below the surface?

It should be noted that the Current Israel Leadership & IDF, have mandate of securing the Jews Life, despite the negative impact Exaggerated by enemy media, the above job has to be completed. Most people seem not to mind when Jews are kidnapped, maimed & killed, but you have many genuine friends whose wish a safe Jewish state. Long Live Eretz Israel.

In his last few days of sanity, Sharon said two things that were correct: the fate of Tel Aviv is the fate of Netzarim, and Israel will make painful sacrifices. Now the painful sacrifices are here: the Kibbutz members who jeered and mocked the Jews that Sharon's forces violently expelled, are now cowering behind IDF soldiers, and demanding something be done. It is only sad that that IDF soldiers also have to pay the price.

tzahal must be allowed to find and destroy all tunnels and missile stocks. no sovereign state can be expected to live with a jihadi terror army on its borders which sends missiles into its territory. no sovereign state can be expected to live with a jihadi terrorist army on its border which digs sophisticated tunnels that exit into its territory with the purpose of slaughtering and kidnapping jews.

You wish the kibbutzniks were cowering behind IDF soldiers. You are wrong. Dont you dare try to twist the words of this article. In order for the crops not to perish, they need to be watered,the IDF are protecting the kibbutzniks from the Gazan terrorists, by accompanying the farmers into their fields. You will never understand the feeling of rockets & missiles flying over your head. Our kibbutzniks are the bravest people, you will never have the honour of meeting!

If it takes another 3 months is better.....destroy and check thoroughly. In the future if there is any tunnels or suspected tunnels it has to be bomb immediately. Make it an agreement otherwise UN, EU and USA is responsible!!! May GOD bless Israel & The IDF.

Israel has, I repeat, has gone to hell. It's called Gaza and they will be there for the next few weeks cleaning up the sewerage called Hamas.

If BB accepts the proposed 5 days ceasefire, he will fall in a big big mistake, that's what hamas is waiting for to reorganize his rats in a better way and not because they care for their civilians that are scared of death by hamas. BB don't fall into that trap, as Sharon, and Rabbin with the oslo accords, your hands will be full of Jewish blood and you will cause a civil war inside Israel and between your people. Mothers will stand against you for the sacrifice of their children you'll make worthless if you accept that fake of a dum "ceasefire"...DON'T DO IT!!!, DON'T EVER ACCEPT IT!!!, as Sharon you will cause your death and dig your own gravesite...AM ISRAEL CHAI!!!

Are some of the tunnel materials useful for shipping into Israel as use for barriers, or for covering (as weights-sealers) entrances and exits of tunnels? Videos should also be made to show the world the 'hows, wheres and whys' regarding the subject terror tunnels.

Are indeed needed. Should such warfare become a Two-Way Street?

CJK, no turning back now. We are in for the long run. Am Israel Chai & Shabbat Shalom to you.

Thank you for your support, Jogyma from Kenya.

Israeli soldiers, unfortunately, died too, but in much smaller numbers than the terrorists in Gaza.

Birdie, We shall prevail. We have wonderful boys and girls who are committed to Medinat Israel. We also have the occasional miracles. Am Israel Chai and Shabbat Shalom.

Rockets and tunnels are inanimate objects. They are only dangerous in the hands of "Palestinians", who seek to mass murder Jews and steal our sole tiny Homeland. The only real solution is the total defeat of "Palestinians" and their mass departure. Most want to leave. Polls have proved this for decades.

Why do you think Hamas built these tunnels into Israel? I would really like to get a truthful answer from you. The facts as we know them are: That 7 years ago a similar tunnel was used to sneak into Israel, blowup a tank where 2 soldiers were killed while the third, Gilad Shalit was kidnapped and held prisoner for 5 years without even a visit from the Red Cross. Last week 4 groups of Hamas terrorists crawled out of openings they had just dug near 4 different Israeli villages.20 of them were killed. These were all heavily armed terrorists not tourists. In addition to the AK 47 weapons they had anti tank rockets, explosive devices and even anesthetics to render kidnapped people unconscious.

Nobody disputes that terror tunnels have to be destroyed. However, the root of all problems is genocidal "Palestinians". Not tunnels. If the I.D.F. destroys the tunnels and insanely flees Gaza again, "Palestinians" will continue to maim and murder Israelis every chance they get. The "Palestinians" must be permanently defeated, as the Nazis were. Israel must stop mad retreats, which are the cause of almost all Israeli problems.

Well said Chaim, you are 100% correct.
