1. PALESTINIAN WOULD BE RESPONSE
Robert ,   Israel   (04.15.18)
Palestinians will surely say that what we destroyed now was used as an alternative underground donkeys' parking lot, as they are are running short of space at street level.
2. Are we sure that none of those Gazans recently wandering
Alan   (04.15.18)
around South Israel did not enter Israel through one of these tunnels???????????
3. HAMAS IS NOT A TERRORIST GROUP, WE KNOW IT TOO WELL
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (04.15.18)
But Israel is a terrorist state par excellance

pity Hamas engineering skills and labor could not be used to better civil use to build a better economy for people. another wasted effort destroyed. another tunnel being built waiting to be destroyed. pity. such is life in Gaza.
5. Why not fill the tunnel with natural gas and light it off?
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.15.18)
Pump the tunnel full of gas so the gas travels to the other end and then light it off. Plugging the tunnel on the Israel side leaves most of the tunnel intact for re-use.

Detonating a gas-filled tunnel will expose the entrances on the Gaza side, important info to know for future responses to terror. Filling a tunnel with concrete is like an ant colony bumping into a rock, it simply goes around it.

Filling a tunnel with natural gas and igniting it will show all openings- in homes, mosques, stores, schools, wherever they are located. Any buildings that go up in flames are owned or operated by Hamas or Hamas supporting people so they are combatants and have earned whatever they receive.

IDF, don't just plug a tunnel, destroy the entire length of it and the supporting infrastructure on the surface. The Hamas tunnel-rats will think twice before working in another tunnel.

6. Had your next door neighbor constantly tried to break into

your apartment is this how you’d react?!
Time after time afternoon time?????!
7. more efficiency
steve ,   beer sheva   (04.15.18)
Maybe we can get them to build the Tel Aviv underground - cheaper and quicker.
8. yair lapid is an idiot
marcel   (04.15.18)
lapid runs for pm office saying he knows-a saudi plan will bring peace. like helll it would. look at what saudki king says- he demands a pal state with jerusalem as its capital-to hell with israel.

some arab countrires may deal with israel because they are fearful of the regime in iran. but in the pinch, they detest israel from all that they learn from their govts, families and mosques. so an israeli pm should keep quiet about regional peace with the saudis-it does not exist period.

when israel is in control and asserts itself, the some arab countries may come calling. they won't as long as israeli pm is a crybaby like netanyahu who says oh my god iran iran iran. instead of quiet confident leadership, he displays fear that our enemies seize on.
9. Tunnels digging detections
Daniel ,   Coral Springs   (04.16.18)
The Government of Israel should install the equivalent of sensetive sismo detectors along there borders to detect vibrations from diggers and explosives used under ground for early warning, then the warning sensors can notify the monitors and the purps can be watched via satellite and followed to their bases where a well place missile could take out the diggers. Or they can just follow them and see where they go after digging to gain further intelligence. Just a suggestion.
