(Washington Post) Missy Ryan - Advances in anti-tunnel technology have provided the Israeli military with new means of heading off attacks from Palestinian militants based in Gaza, an Israeli military official who heads the underground-warfare section of the IDF's technological unit said Tuesday. He noted that the new technology had resulted in the elimination of at least three tunnels since October. "We know what we're doing now....We have a good plan," he said. The official suggested that the technology was based on techniques used by the oil and gas industries, which sometimes employ seismic or sound waves to prospect for minerals or fossil fuels. Detection technology needed to distinguish between concrete or open space associated with tunnels, and naturally occurring clay or sand. Looking for tunnels is basically a task of finding "the right anomaly," he said. He also described advances in technologies used to destroy tunnels once they have been detected. The IDF is now able to detonate tunnels in certain instances with minimal damage to surface structures. 2018-03-08 00:00:00Full Article
