NYTimes: The Tunnels of Gaza - How the subterranean maze below the Gaza Strip works. >>>
"Snaking beneath dense residential areas, the passageways allow fighters to move around free from the eye of the enemy. There are also bunkers for stockpiling weapons, food and water, and even command centers and tunnels wide enough for vehicles, researchers believe."
As a suburban Chicago resident, I can't help but wonder if anyone has considered flooding the #HamasTunnels as a means of pushing the #Hamas fighters out into the open.
It's probably not a realistic idea, and I'm sure no one will even consider it (at this point, the goal seems to be "slaughter over strategy"). But water can be a powerful tool, and I can't imagine the tunnels would be as watertight as folks might think. If one part of the tunnels is near to the ocean, then they only need to find a way to connect the two-- perhaps with digging in already-siezed territory, perhaps with one of the bombs they seem to enjoy dropping on innocent people.
It's a fantastical idea I know, but I think the situation calls for new ways of thinking & new ideas, not the old way of bombing lots of innocent people in order to damage the tunnels, yard by yard.
