#2 I can't help but think that somewhere in Gaza is a mountain of digging spoil from all these tunnels.

Ed ~ Somewhere in Israel is an enterprising Jew buying 'fill dirt' from the Paleo's for settlement construction, whilst selling coordinates of the load site to the IDF. I wish I owned the business.

#6 I had a colleague I worked with at USGS in the 70s that put in miles of Spiral 4 cable in SKOR to detect tunnel building and movements by the Norks, using seismometers.

#10 I remember the terrible stories of men lost in the Chu Chi tunnels.
I also remember the technique of blowing smoke in to mark nearby vents, blocking those then blowing in an air/fuel mix that the engineers would ignite. Sometimes just a load of diesel fired by WP would deny access. Neither would destroy the deeper complex very often but both would evacuate breathable air pretty quickly.
