#2 I don't think there is any use or reason for this tunnel except to conduct urban guerrilla warfare. So there cannot be any problem with destroying them.

#3 Kinda like salting the earth, though. Maybe they should flood it with gasoline instead.

#6 How will the use of salt water to flood tunnels affect later use of land for farms? They do plan to turn gaza into israeli farm land dont they?

#8 How will the use of salt water to flood tunnels affect later use of land for farms?

Mostly the tunnels are deeper than plant roots would go, I imagine, irish rage boy, and the soil is very sandy, so rain would quickly wash surface salts deeper. And over-pumping is already making the groundwater salty, so flushing the tunnels will just accelerate the results of carrying the self-governing Palestinian population.

Catty, I realize, but nonetheless.
