File under: Hamas

#1 IIRC HAMAS views Al-Sisi as illegitimate, refusing to acknowledge his ascendancy + formal authority. This infers that Hamas may ultimately question Egypt's right or control oer Gaza???

#2 But Egypt doesn't control Gaza, JosephMendiola. Israel does....sorta. Egypt just doesn't have to let Gaza exit their illicit tunnels or come through their licit crossing.

#3 Israel needs to dig a wide, deep canal between Egypt and Gaza. It won't stop the moles but it will make them dig deeper and deeper.

#4 SW,
Why not use a drill to place explosives at varying depths across the frontier? It would make tunneling a more dicey proposition.

As an alternative, ground penetrating radar to detect tunnels. It takes a long time to dig a tunnel. Much less time to run a sweep.
